NEW YORK, United States (AFP)—The death toll from a residential building collapse in New York rose to at least eight, including two children, on Thursday, after more bodies were recovered from the rubble, officials said.

Rescuers worked through the night, searching the site in the Flatbush neighbourhood of Brooklyn where the three-story building collapsed on Wednesday.

They recovered four more bodies overnight, while two others died in the hospital, Fire Chief Lillian Bonsignore told a news conference.
