Dozens of people are presumed dead and about 100 injured, most of them seriously, in a fire at a bar in the Swiss Alps during a new year’s celebration at a luxury ski resort.
The blaze ripped through the packed bar, Le Constellation, early on Thursday in Crans-Montana, one of the top-ranked ski destinations in Europe, which lies about 25 miles (40km) north-west of Zermatt.
Swiss police believe about 40 people died, the Italian foreign ministry said in a statement. The victims are believed to come from several countries.
