DHAKA: Relatives of those who went missing on Malaysia flight MH370 have marked 100 days since the plane vanished.

Chinese families said they would pray for the return of their loved ones, adding that they just wanted to know the truth of how the jet disappeared.

The authorities promised to carry on searching for the plane, report the BBC.

Crews have been scouring vast areas of ocean since the jet vanished on 8 March en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. So far, no trace has been found.

They believe the jet ended its journey in the Indian Ocean, hundreds of miles north-west of the Australian city of Perth.

A total of 239 passengers were on board, most of them Chinese.
