Death Toll Rises to 60 in Indonesian School Collapse
The death toll from the collapse of Al-Khoziny Islamic boarding school in East Java, Indonesia, has risen to at least 60, with rescue operations ongoing. The school's multi-story building caved in on September 29 while students were performing afternoon prayers, trapping dozens beneath the rubble. According to the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), 11 more bodies were recovered on Monday, bringing the total to 60. Three people remain missing, and 99 are still hospitalized.
The collapse is thought to be the deadliest disaster in Indonesia this year, with authorities blaming potentially poor construction practices. The school had not obtained the necessary building permits before starting construction. Rescue teams are working cautiously to avoid further damage to nearby buildings. With the recovery efforts nearly complete, the focus shifts to investigating the cause of the collapse and holding those responsible accountable.
