Dozens of the missing people are from Latin American countries and their families are desperately awaiting any news. 

Well there's so many american families are awaiting news. Any sort of word on the fate of their loved ones as a result of this partial collapse. So too are dozens of latin american families whose loved ones are among those that are missing. Remember there are multiple south american countries that have citizens that are among the dozens and dozens of people that remain unaccounted for. At this point we've done some reporting over the last several days talking to different family members from some of those south american countries. And the consistent theme that we hear is that among the worst part of all of this is just the lack of information, the lack of any sort of news on the fates of their missing family members. We know this is an international response, both Israel and Mexico, saying that they have sent workers rescue workers to try and help with the international effort with the search and rescue effort that is currently underway in south florida. We also know that the U. S. Government, U. S. Senator Marco rubio's office trying to expedite visas for the foreign nationals who have family members who are among those missing at those at this juncture are trying to get family members of the ability to even come to south florida and be their present as these rescue efforts continue. But unfortunately, we know that the more time goes by as each hour ticks by, the chances of finding people alive in that debris continues to go down matt rivers CNN Mexico City.
