A firefighter’s seven-year-old daughter is one of two more victims pulled from the rubble of the collapsed apartment block near Miami, officials say.
Her father had reportedly kept vigil at the disaster site for the last nine days and was present when his girl was plucked from the ruins.
It takes the death toll to 22, with 126 people still missing.
Crews are scouring the wreckage for survivors, despite the risk of falling debris and an incoming hurricane.
The girl – named by local media as Stella Cattarossi – is the third child to be recovered from the site in Surfside.
