Five construction workers confirmed dead after school collapses in Antwerp, Belgium

Five building workers were confirmed dead on Saturday a day after a school construction site partially collapsed in the Belgian city of Antwerp.

The last two bodies were pulled from rubble on Saturday afternoon, Antwerp’s fire department said, meaning that all the missing victims were now accounted for.

King Philippe of Belgium visited the scene on Saturday accompanied by Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo.

Two of the dead were from Portugal and Romania, police told local media, while the nationality of the other dead workers was not clear.

But when three people were still missing, rescuers had said they were looking for two more Portuguese and one Russian.

Nine other people were injured in the incident on Friday afternoon, with three still in intensive care a day later, but not in critical condition, the fire department tweeted.
