가족·지인 소식에 병원 울음바다...이 시각 순천향병원 장례식장

We begin with the deadly crowd crush that happened over the weekend in Itaewon.
Our reporter Shin Ha-young is standing by at the hospital nearest to the site.
Ha-young, let's start with where you are and what's being done there.

Devin, I'm at Soonchunhyang University Hospital in Seoul...
which is around five minutes by car from Itaewon.

According to South Korea's Health Ministry, up until Sunday morning, 84 people were sent to this hospital and 76 of them had already gone into cardiac arrest and died.
They have since been sent to other funeral homes due to limited space.
As is the case for most hospitals in Korea, Soonchunhyang University Hospital has its own funeral parlor.
Government officials have said that... more funeral facilities will be built if needed at any of the hospitals that have taken people in from Itaewon.
They also say that they are planning to come up with measures to extend the operation hours of cremation facilities.
It's at this hospital's mortuary is where five of the dead are being kept.
Among them, one is from Iran and one from Japan.
The family of the Iranian national is unable to travel to Korea due to the situation in that country.
The family of the Japanese national are reportedly already in Korea.

As of Tuesday, the death toll has since risen to 156.
Ha-young, what's the lastest in terms of the number of reported casualties?

Right Devin, the number of deaths has risen again from yesterday.
Authorities reported one more death earlier this morning - a Korean woman in her twenties.

She was in critical condition, but her condition got worse, and she passed away at 8:49 PM Monday.
This came after a 24-year-old woman died at 9 PM last night.
Of those killed 101 were women, which is about two-thirds of the total
The death toll now stands at 156... with 26 foreigners.
At least 150 are injured and among them more than 110 have been discharged after receiving treatment.
29 of the injured are in critical condition.
Meanwhile, a lost and found center has been operating since Monday night at Wonhyoro Multi-purpose Indoor Gymnasium, located close to Itaewon in the Yongsan-gu District.
Items lost on Saturday night are being kept there, while identification cards are being kept by police.
It will run until 6 PM Sunday.
That's all I have for this hour, but I'll bring more updates in our later newscast.
Back to you, Devin.
