The explosion reduced the four-story, five-apartment building at 17 Tivoli Street in the city center to rubble. An adjoining building, at number 15, also partially collapsed.
At the time of collapse, around 200 people were preventively evacuated from nearby buildings. As of Tuesday, only four of the victims had been identified: a 74-year-old man and a woman, who were a couple, and two women, 65 and 88.
The last four identified are a couple in their thirties and another in their eighties.
