……………..

At least 91 students remain buried under rubble nearly two days after an Islamic boarding school collapsed in Indonesia’s East Java province, The Independent reported. The century-old Al Khoziny school building, which was undergoing unauthorized expansion, gave way during Monday afternoon prayers, trapping hundreds of students, mostly teenage boys, inside the prayer hall.

More than 300 rescuers are working around the clock to free survivors. Authorities have confirmed three deaths and about 100 injuries. The National Disaster Management Agency raised the estimated number of those trapped late Tuesday, revising the figure from 38 to 91 based on attendance records.
