The death toll is expected to keep climbing, as work crews using heavy machinery have begun removing rubble from some of the most heavily-damaged sections.

But the operation stopped after the woman's cries were heard on Friday. TV pictures showed rescuers gathered near where she was found.

"She has been located in a gap between a beam and a column," the head of Bangladesh's fire service, Ahmed Ali, told the AFP news agency.
