Rescuers at a collapsed school in Haiti are ending the search for survivors and will soon demolish the remains of the building where at least 92 people died.
No survivors have been found since four were pulled alive from the rubble of the three-storey building on Saturday, a day after it crumbled.
Rescuers held back from using heavy equipment out of fear debris could fall on any survivors beneath the rubble.
President Rene Preval, who has made several visits to the disaster site, blamed continual government turnover and a lack of respect for the law for the deadly collapse at the College La Promesse.
