The number of fatalities from a building collapse incident in the southern Iranian city of Abadan has risen to 32, after three more bodies were pulled from the rubble on Monday.
There are also reports that rescuers have found another body, but it is yet to be dragged from under the debris.
The governor of Khouzestan Province in souhern Iran, earlier also said 38 people remain missing.
Rescue workers have also pulled dozens of people alive from the site.

Officials are blaming faulty construction practices for the incident.

Iran observed a day of national mourning for the victims and a projection mapping, displaying a message of condolence to the people of Abadan, was rendered on Tehran’s iconic Azadi Tower on Sunday night.
