More survivors have been brought out of the collapsed eight-storey building near the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, with the rescue operation into its fourth day.
This picture by the BBC's Andrew North shows a section of the roof which has entombed so many inside. More than 300 people have died and an estimated 600 are still unaccounted for.
About 3,000 people were in the building when it collapsed on Wednesday.
As the rescue operation continues, hundreds of relatives are at the site anxiously awaiting news of their loved ones. Most worked for garment factories based in the building.
Rescuers say many survivors are still trapped inside but as time goes on their cries become weaker. Rain on Saturday was hampering the operation.
Hundreds of volunteers are helping emergency services try to reach those still trapped in the Rana Plaza in the suburb of Savar.
More bodies are also being pulled from the rubble. They are taken to a makeshift morgue whey they are collected by distraught families.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has vowed that all those responsible for the disaster will be punished.
Violent protests have erupted with garment workers demanding better working conditions and safety standards. Owners of two of the factories have been arrested along with two municipal engineers who are reported to have approved the building's safety.
Riot police are guarding other garment factories in Dhaka but here a stone-throwing mob attacks a police checkpoint in the city.
