The collapse of the Indonesia School kills at least 3, Sparks race to find dozens of survivors under the rubble

Siduaro, Indonesia – Indonesian rescue workers were racing around the clock on Wednesday to try to find survivors of the school collapse in the eastern province of Java. At least 91 students are still missing, three of the dead and about 100 others have been confirmed.

The Islamic Army School, which the authorities said that the authorities were going through an unauthorized expansion to add two new stories, collapsed during the afternoon prayer on Monday, when they sent panels of concrete and other heavy debris that collided with students below.

Most rescue operations usually occur within 24 hours after this disaster, with the chances of survival drop every day, and more than 300 working workers continued at the scene to try to reach people who are still alive and trapped below.

“We hope that we can complete this process soon,” Mohamed Sayyafi, head of the National Search and Rescue Agency in Indonesia, told reporters. “We are currently racing against time because it is possible to save the lives of those we discovered during the golden hours.”

The authorities said that among nearly 100 injuries, there were 26 years still in the hospital on Wednesday, and many of them were said to have suffered from head injuries and broken bones.

SYAFII said that at least six children are believed to be alive under the rubble, but the research was complicated, while concrete panels and other parts of the building remained unstable. Heavy equipment was available, but it was not used due to concerns that may cause further collapse.

Rescuers run oxygen, water and food through narrow gaps in the rubble for those who are still trapped under the debris to keep them alive.

Search teams have also used the thermal detectors and drones to detect potential survivors to save them.

The Temple fell over hundreds of people at about 2:30 pm local time on Monday in the prayer hall at Al -Khuzini Islamic Islamic School of Horn in Siduaro, on the eastern side of Java Island in Indonesia.

The survivors said that most of them were boys in grades from seven to 12 years old, between the ages of 12 and 18. The students were praying in another part of the building and managed to escape.

The prayer hall was high, but two others were added without a permit, according to the authorities. Police said that the old building Foundation was unable to support two floors of concrete and collapsed during a casting process.

The authorities had initially said that only 38 people were missing, but they were soaked to 91 years late on Tuesday after consulting the audience lists and speaking with families.

“In the early stages, there will inevitably be some confusion about data,” said Sohaaranto, head of the National Disaster Relief Agency, which passes by one name as it is common in Indonesia.
