The discovery of a woman's body raises the death toll to 19 in a blast that levelled an apartment building in Argentina last week, an official said.

Leonardo Caruana, health minister for the city of Rosario, said yesterday that two people still remain missing in the accident that destroyed the building after a gas leak.

Dozens of rescue workers continued searching yesterday for survivors among the rubble of the 60-unit complex that housed 238 people in the heart of the city.

Rosario is home to 1.1 million people and is located 300 kilometres (180 miles) north of Burns Aires. It is Argentina's main port for farm exports.
