The names of 27 passengers and crew still missing after the cruise ship disaster off Italy's coast have been released by authorities.
Eleven people are confirmed to have died after the vast liner was holed on rocks near the island of Giglio off the Tuscan coast last Friday.
The death toll almost doubled on Tuesday after five more bodies were pulled from the stricken Costa Concordia.
Authorities have now released details of the people still missing.
Some 13 Germans among the 24 passengers still missing are named as: Elisabeth Bauer, Horst Galle, Christina Mathi Ganz, Norbert Josef Ganz, Gertrud Goergens, Gabriele Grube, Egon Hoer, Margarethe Neth, Inge Schall, Siglinde Stumpf, Brunhild Werp, Josef Werp and Margrit Schroeter.
Five are Italian and have been named as Dayana Arlotti, William M Arlotti, Maria Dintrono, Maria Grazia Trecarichi, and Luisa Antonia Virzi.
Another four are French - Michael M Blemand, Jeanne Gannard, Pierre Gregoire, and Mylene Litzler - and the remaining two, Barbara Heil and Gerald Heil, are from the US.
There are still three crew members who have not been found, who have been identified as Italian Girolamo Giuseppe, Russel Terence Rebello from India and Erika Fani Soriamolina of Peru.
Crew member Sandor Feher, from Hungary, has been officially named as one of the victims to have died inside the vessel.
The search for the missing was suspended earlier in the day after the vessel moved slightly.
When it resumes, attention will focus mainly on the restaurant on deck four at the back of the Concordia where the bodies of four men and a woman all aged between 50 and 60 years old were found on Tuesday.
It is feared the bodies of the rest of the missing passengers and crew are trapped there.
