STORY: The number of students confirmed dead after the collapse of an Islamic boarding school building in Indonesia rose to 36, from 16 a day earlier, the country's disaster mitigation agency said on Sunday (October 5).

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, the agency said.

Cranes were deployed to excavate debris, and search and evacuation efforts were 60% complete, according to the agency, which said it expected to clear all debris and finish the search on Monday (October 6).

The Al Khoziny school in the town of Sidoarjo in East Java province caved in last Monday (September 29), collapsing on top of hundreds of teenage students during afternoon prayers, its foundations unable to support ongoing construction work on its upper floors.

"We have managed to find 36 victims, meaning there are still 27 more who are estimated to be at the location where the school building collapsed. But we also cannot rely on this number 27. It could be more and it could be less. All this will be clearer later when we have removed all the rubble and debris."
