Police in Bangladesh said more than 600 bodies have now been recovered from a garment-factory building that collapsed 11 days ago, and the grim recovery work continues.
Police said the death toll had reached 610. More than 200 bodies have been recovered since Wednesday, when authorities said only 149 people had been listed as missing.
The stench of decomposing bodies remains amid the broken concrete of the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, and it is not known how many victims remain inside.
An architect, Masoon Reza, whose firm designed the building, said it was never designed to handle heavy industrial equipment, let alone the three floors that were later illegally added.
