Charlotte Niddam, 15, went to school in Hertfordshire and her family have not heard from her since the blaze
A teenager educated in Britain is among those missing after a deadly fire in a Swiss ski resort.
Charlotte Niddam, 15, lived in Bushey, Hertfordshire, until recently and attended Immanuel College, a private Jewish secondary school in the town. The school issued a statement on Friday saying it was “praying for a miracle for Charlotte”.
It is understood her family have not heard from her since tragedy unfolded in a crowded bar in Crans-Montana in the early hours of New Year’s Day. Many of those celebrating at Le Constellation bar when the fire took hold were teenagers.
Swiss authorities said on Friday that about 40 people had died and more than 100 had been injured. Some casualties have yet to be identified.
