Oklahoma tornado: Mayor of Moore pushes for shelter law

The mayor of the tornado-devastated town of Moore in Oklahoma has vowed to push for a new law on shelters, after a huge twister there killed at least 24.

Glenn Lewis said he would propose an ordinance requiring a reinforced shelter to be built in every new home.

Volunteers are now engaged in a recovery mission - delivering supplies and helping people find accommodation.

The White House says that President Barack Obama will travel to Moore on Sunday.

The Oklahoma medical examiner's office said 23 of the 24 victims had now been identified and that 10 of them were children.

Officials are still searching for six adults who have not yet been accounted for.

Between 12,000 and 13,000 homes were destroyed or damaged, Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said.
