Rescue workers remove bodies from the site of a building collapse in Lebanon's capital Beirut.
Some residents are still missing beneath the rubble, and emergency crews are hoping to find survivors instead of more bodies.
The five-storey building collapsed in the Ashrafiyeh district of Beirut on Sunday evening.
Eighteen people have been confirmed killed, and 12 others are receiving treatment for their injuries in hospital.
The victims include Lebanese and Sudanese nationals.
