Rescue teams in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, raced against time Tuesday morning to reach students trapped under the unstable concrete rubble of a collapsed school building. More than 12 hours after the disaster, the situation remained dire, with at least one student confirmed dead, dozens injured, and 65 feared buried beneath the debris.
The collapse occurred at Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in East Java, a once-trusted place of learning that quickly turned into a scene of chaos and heartbreak. Rescue workers, police, and soldiers worked tirelessly through the night, pulling survivors from the wreckage amid precarious conditions.
