Hundreds of personal belongings retrieved by police from the scene of the Itaewon disaster have been displayed at a gym in Seoul for survivors and the relatives of the victims to collect.
At least 156 people died in a crowd crush in Itaewon on Saturday night. Most of the victims were young people who had been out celebrating Halloween.
They are being kept at the Wonhyoro sports centre, five kilometres from the scene of the disaster. Laid out on tables and on the floor are 800 items including 256 pairs of shoes, 258 pieces of clothing, 124 bags and 156 electronic items, and other personal belongings, including stuffed animal key chains.
On Tuesday, a police officer told Reuters the gym opened for owners and family members on Monday to claim their lost items, but few have come so far.
