Ankara: The body of a schoolgirl was found buried in the rubble of a collapsed building on Saturday, bringing the number of dead to 18.

Rescue workers resumed their search after a family reported that one of their daughters was still missing.

The three-storey dormitory building in Turkey's Konya region collapsed on Friday and authorities suspect a gas canister blast caused the collapse.
