The death count from an Indonesian school collapse rose to 45 as rescuers recovered more victims buried under the rubble. Rescuers retrieved another 19 victims from the rubble today, officials said.
The national search and rescue agency said efforts continued for a seventh day to search for the bodies of 27 students still declared missing – mostly teenage boys from the ages of 13 to 19 – trapped under the rubble. Part of the multi-storey building on Indonesia’s Java island suddenly collapsed on Monday last as students gathered for afternoon prayers.
