The building that trapped students and killed 10 in Lagos Nigeria enters the third day of rescue on Friday.
Families kept vigil at a hospital on Thursday for children pulled from the wreckage of a collapsed school building.
Authorities have so far confirmed only that some people were killed, without giving a number, after the four-story building housing the school, homes and shops collapsed on Wednesday.
Residents say the school had around 100 children. Rescuers were trying to find a register to work out how many had died, an emergency official said. Nearly 50 people were rescued from the building on Wednesday.
At the hospital, 50-year-old hairdresser Arike Kuye waited for news of her granddaughter, aged seven, who has being treated for a head injury. Her 11-year-old granddaughter was killed in the accident.
“I’ve been here for hours. I don’t know how long it has been,” she said, as her eyes filled with tears.
Around two dozen people, mostly women, were gathered outside the wing where hospital officials said seven children were being treated.
