Indonesia’s School Collapse Death Toll Climbs to Forty-Five
(MENAFN) The death toll from the collapse of a school building in Indonesia’s East Java province has reached 45, regional rescue officials confirmed Sunday.
Nanang Sigit, head of the East Java Search and Rescue Office, reported that all victims have been transported to Bhayangkara Police Hospital within the province for identification.
“Legal proceedings will be carried out after the excavation work is completed,” stated Nanang Avianto, the province’s police chief.
The tragedy struck when part of the multi-story Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in Sidoarjo district gave way on Monday amid unauthorized renovation work, trapping dozens of students beneath the rubble.
Rescue teams initially conducted manual digging out of concern that heavy machinery might trigger additional collapse. However, on Thursday, after no signs of life were detected, heavy equipment was brought in to aid the operation.
