A deadline set by the Malaysian Government for the second attempt to find missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which disappeared in 2014 with 239 people on board, has ended.

The search has covered more than 80,000 square kilometres.

So far, 27 fragments of the plane have been recovered at beaches in Africa

Malaysia says it will review the investigations and has left open the possibility of a third search.

The Boeing 777 disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014 about 40 minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur on the way to Beijing.
