ACCRA (Reuters) - Rescuers have ended their search for survivors of a shopping mall collapse in Ghana's capital Accra last week which killed at least 14 people, officials said on Monday.

The four-storey building, operated by Indian retailer Melcom Ltd in Accra's Achimota neighbourhood, collapsed on Wednesday due to a suspected structural failure as employees gathered for morning prayers before opening for business.
