Rescue teams in South Africa are continuing their efforts to locate any survivors trapped under the rubble of an apartment building that collapsed during construction in George, South Africa. The incident, which occurred a week ago, has resulted in the confirmed deaths of 24 construction workers, with an additional 28 individuals still missing. This has raised concerns that the final death toll could exceed 50.
Despite the grim situation, there have been glimmers of hope. Over the weekend, one construction worker was found alive after spending six days without food or water under the debris. This discovery has fueled the determination of the more than 600 emergency services and personnel involved in the search and rescue operation.
