The deputy mayor of the municipality of Gjerdrum, Leif Haugland, received the message with regret.

It is with great regret that we must affirm that another deceased person has been found. Now I think of those who wait for answers about their loved ones. I can only imagine how heavy and difficult they are now, he said.

At the same time, he wanted to highlight the support that the local community is now showing.

– The people of Gjerdrum have begun to light candles for the dead. It’s moving, says the deputy mayor.

Continue searching for survivors

At the same time, the search continues in full swing.
