The police's list of missing or dead people remains at 543, with 28 still to be identified.

So far, ten people whose bodies have not been found have been declared dead by a special committee at the tax office. Relatives of some of the other 18 people have applied to have them declared dead.

The applications will be dealt with in the autumn.
