The death toll from a school collapse in Indonesia has risen to 14 as rescuers continue to search for dozens of students still unaccounted for. The collapse occurred at the Al Khoziny Islamic boarding school in Sidoarjo, East Java, on Monday, trapping hundreds of people under the rubble. Rescuers initially searched by hand but have now turned to using heavy excavators to clear the debris. The students were mostly boys between the ages of 12 and 19, and authorities have stated that the building's foundation was unable to support the extra floors being added without a permit.
