Rescuers are still scrambling through the wreckage to search for survivors. They have been able to confirm signs of life on the top floor of the building, and would begin rescue work after the Vietnamese woman was saved.

More than 100 people are believed to be under the debris, and many are trapped at the bottom of the building.
