JAKARTA, October 5 (Xinhua) — The death toll from the school building collapse in Indonesia's East Java province has risen to 45, a regional rescue official said on Sunday.
According to Nanang Sigit, head of the East Java Search and Rescue Agency, all the victims were taken to Bhayangkara Regional Police Hospital for identification.
"Procedural actions will be carried out after the rubble is cleared," said East Java Police Chief Nanang Awianto.
Part of the multi-story building of the Al-Khozini Islamic Boarding School in Sidoarjo County collapsed on September 29 during unauthorized renovation work, trapping dozens of students under the rubble.
On October 2, rescuers deployed heavy equipment after signs of life ceased to be detected at the collapse site. Previously, they had primarily relied on manual methods to clear the rubble due to concerns that using heavy equipment could cause further collapse.
