Overview

• A multi-storey section of the Al Khoziny Islamic boarding school in Sidoarjo, East Java, failed during a concrete pour while students gathered for afternoon prayer.
• Authorities report nearly 60 people are still unaccounted for, after an earlier attendance list suggested about 91 missing, and the figures remain under review.
• Five people have been rescued alive, and others located under debris are being supplied with oxygen, water and food through small openings.
• More than 330 personnel are conducting careful manual operations as heavy machinery is largely withheld because of unstable concrete slabs and the risk of further collapse.
• Police say the prayer hall had been extended without permits by adding two concrete floors onto an older two-storey structure, a change suspected of overloading the foundation.
