Haiti mourns victim’s death

The government in Haiti has declared two days of national mourning for the students and teachers who died after a school collapsed on Friday.



A symbolic mass funeral is also likely for tomorrow.



Officials have confirmed that a total of 89 persons died.



The death toll had initially been placed at 93, but officials reduced the number because some victims had been counted more than once.



They say other bodies could be recovered during the demolition.



Rescuers have already started to clear the wreckage.



The government has reportedly pledged to provide funds to each grieving family to cover funeral costs.
