'I don't believe it yet': India plane crash victim's brother

"Maybe he'll call me in two-three days?"

Imtiaz Ali's brother Javed and his family were on the Air India flight that crashed in India's Ahmedabad city on Thursday.

But until he sees his brother's body, Mr Ali says, he won't believe he has died. Mr Ali was among dozens of people the BBC met in the intervening night between Thursday and Friday who were waiting for news of their loved ones at Ahmedabad's civil hospital.

All but one of the 242 people on the London-bound flight died when it crashed into a residential area shortly after take-off on Thursday. Follow the BBC's live coverage of this story here.
