Death toll reaches 34 in Iran’s tower block collapse

The death toll from last week’s collapse of a tower block in southwestern Iran has risen to 34, state media reported Tuesday, as emergency crew continued to comb the rubble.

A large section of the 10-story Metropol building that was under construction in a busy street in the city of Abadan crashed to the ground on May 23, leading to one of the country’s deadliest disasters in recent years.
