Details
Indonesian rescuers on Tuesday completed the search for victims trapped under the rubble of a collapsed Islamic boarding school in East Java province, after recovering more than 60 bodies
The disaster relief agency said that "the bodies of all 61 people who were in the building were found, as well as seven body parts that the police are trying to identify." The agency also reported that it had stopped search operations.
As stated, rescuers used excavators and cranes to lift large pieces of concrete.
Operations related to the collapse of the Al-Khozin school structure... officially closed
"Among the identified parts are severed limbs," said Budi Irawan, deputy head of the agency.
Addition
Al-Khozin is one of more than 42,000 Islamic pesantren schools across Indonesia, but only 50 of them have official building permits, the Ministry of Public Works said. Reuters could not confirm Al-Khozin's permit or contact the school's management. Local media quoted school principal Subandi as saying last week that the school allegedly did not have such a permit, the publication writes.
