The death toll in the collapse of a factory building in Bangladesh has now risen to 175, after rescuers worked through the night to pull people from the rubble.

But officials in Dhaka are warning that the number of deaths could rise – as many are still trapped inside.

Around 1,000 people are thought to have been injured

The Irish retailer Penneys confirmed last night that one of its suppliers occupied the second floor of the building – and its working to provide support to those affected.
