3:53Now PlayingA massive fire that tore through a shopping centre in Pakistan's largest city, Karachi, has killed 21 people, including a firefighter, and rescuers are racing to find dozens more still missing.
It took firefighters more than 24 hours to put out the blaze in Gul Plaza that started on Saturday night. The building housed 1,200 stores and spanned 8,000 sq m (86,111 sq ft).
Parts of the building have collapsed, with officials saying the debris and lack of ventilation were hampering rescue efforts.
"Almost the entire building was already engulfed in flames", by the time rescuers arrived at the site on Saturday night, local emergency services said.
