The families of teenagers missing after a devastating fire at a venue in a Switzerland's alpine town are facing an agonising wait for answers and appealing for information about their children online.

The fire devastated the Le Constellation bar in the alpine resort, located in the mountains of the Valais region, in the early hours of January 1st. Confirmed footage depict the roof structure being engulfed in flames as beverages with fireworks are raised in celebration.

Authorities have warned that it could take days if not weeks to identify the fatalities of the fire, which claimed the lives of four dozen individuals and injured another over a hundred. Authorities noted on Friday that 113 of the injured have been accounted for, with work continuing to identify the remaining few.

In the meantime, families and friends have been taking to the internet to request clues about their loved ones who were in attendance that night.
