Hopes are fading for the remaining people trapped after the roof of a nightclub collapsed in the Dominican Republic killing more than 200 people, with authorities saying the rescue operation has ended and turned to recovery efforts. The deadly incident in the early hours of Tuesday morning sent shockwaves around the country, with three days of mourning declared in the wake of the disaster. An official statement from the country’s Emergency Center Operations on Wednesday said that “all reasonable possibilities of finding more survivors” had been exhausted, and the focus of the operation is now on recovering bodies. “In the last days, rescue teams have worked uninterrupted to remove debris, helping the wounded and rescuing people alive,” the statement posted on X said. It continues, “However, having exhausted any reasonable possibility of finding more survivors, the operation is now in a different phase, nonetheless sensitive and crucial: the recovery of human bodies with due respect and the dignity that every victim deserves.” Juan Manuel Méndez, the director of the operations center, said in a press conference that no one had been pulled alive from the rubble since Tuesday.
