Explosion at building in Marseille France

Five bodies have been found under the rubble of two buildings that collapsed following an explosion in the south of France.

Rescuers are continuing to search for at least four people in the southern city of Marseille.

Marseille Mayor Benoit Payan said that more than 100 firefighters were searching for those who were trapped when the five-storey residential building collapsed just before 1am on Sunday.

About 200 people have been evacuated from their homes in the area.

“This morning the sorrow and pain are great,” Mr Payan said. “I am thinking of the loved ones of those who suffer and remain in worry. Marseille stands by their side.
