Hello and welcome to NewsHour live from the BBC World Service in London.
I'm Rebecca Kezby.
Across the day,
more details have been emerging as to what happened during the deadly fire at a New Year's Eve party in a bar in the Swiss ski resort of Crommontana.
At least 40 people have been killed, 119 are receiving treatment in hospital.
Authorities say it could be a while before they can identify those killed and even some of those injured.
It seems the fire erupted very quickly, leaving little time to escape.
One survivor, a young man called Nathan described the panic that followed.
It was really a free for all, every man for himself.
I was already outside so I could see the stairs, they were packed.
Some people were jumping over them to try and get through.
It was let's say like a nightmare because we could also see the whole market clothes all torn,
people in a total panic screaming.
It was like a nightmare.
While among those missing is Laetitia Broda's son Arthur.
This is what she told reporters a few hours ago.
I must find my son.
And today, I must go through this kind of thing to find him.
It's been 30 hours since my son disappeared.
30 hours.
