The country's First Lady, her parents, and her sister's in-laws have arrived in Florida, the media reported, citing the Paraguay Presidential Palace. Sophia Lopez Moreira, sister of Silvana Lopez Moreira, her husband Luis Patengel and their three children were staying in the collapsed van. They came to Miami to get the coronavirus vaccine.


According to media reports, the embassies said several Latin American immigrants were among the missing.


There were 1 Chilean, 9 Argentine, 7 Paraguay, 6 Colombian, 6 Venezuelan and 6 Uruguayans.


The death toll from a multi-storey building collapse in Florida has risen to nine. The search for 150 people buried under the rubble has not yet been completed.


The rescue operation is being carried out very carefully in the hope of rescuing the survivors. But over time, that is likely to change.


Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has instructed the Central Emergency Management Agency to take steps to provide the necessary assistance.


The incident happened in the Surfside area around Miami in the state on Thursday, local time. The building that collapsed is a residential building; At least 16 of those missing are citizens of various Latin American countries.


The BBC says it is not known why the 40-year-old building collapsed. The cause of the accident is being investigated.


102 people lived in that building. However, it was not immediately clear how many people were inside when it collapsed. Several people have been rescued and taken to hospital.


Sally Heiman, deputy commissioner of Miami-Dead County, said many people lived permanently in the building after the crash. Again some came and stayed there during the winter.


The building was constructed in 1970. It had 130 units. Half of the units were damaged due to the landslide.


It was not immediately clear what caused the collapse. But an inspection report by engineers in 2016 noted structural deterioration in the 40-year-old building's underground parking garage.
