当地时间7月7日晚，美国迈阿密戴德县县长卡瓦在新闻发布会上宣布，针对迈阿密大楼倒塌事故的搜救行动已于当天下午停止，“搜救任务”将转为“重建任务”。当天是搜救行动的第14天，事故造成的死亡人数已升至54人，其中33人的身份已得到确认，仍有86人下落不明。

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced Wednesday evening that eight more bodies had been found in the Surfside building collapse, bringing the death toll to 54, with 86 still "potentially" unaccounted for." Of the 54 victims, 33 have been identified and next of kin notified. She also announced the search and rescue effort was transitioning into a recovery effort.

她在发布会上表示，“时至今日，我们在搜救过程中已用尽一切可行的方法，所以现在是时候开始重建任务了。这样我们才能给那些饱受痛苦和煎熬等待消息的家庭一个交代。”



"At this point, we have truly exhausted every option available to us in the search-and-rescue mission," Cava said at a news conference, “So today is about beginning the transition to recovery, so that we can help to bring closure to the families who've been suffering and waiting for news.”

美国迈阿密戴德县消防救援队助理局长贾达拉当天对遇难者及失踪者家属表示，基于现有事实，废墟中失踪者的生存几率为零。工作人员将移除救援犬和相关监听设备，但会继续搜寻失踪者遗体。据报道，在场家属闻讯后泪流满面。

Families and loved ones were informed during a private briefing that the effort is coming to an end. Miami-Dade Assistant Fire Chief Raide Jadallah told families that crews would stop using rescue dogs and listening devices but would continue to search for remains.

据新华社报道，6月24日凌晨，迈阿密滨海小镇瑟夫赛德的一栋12层住宅楼发生局部坍塌。事故楼房共有136套住房，其中55套在坍塌中损毁。

虽然这次搜救规模大，但救援进展一直显得缓慢而困难，其间又因火情、恶劣天气、拆除工作等因素多次暂停。截至7日宣布停止搜救，救援工作持续了近两周，而自坍塌发生一小时后迄今，救援人员没有找到任何幸存者。
