In Indonesia, the death toll from the collapse of a boarding school in East Java province has risen to 17, according to officials. Rescuers battle to recover dozens of students believed still buried under the rubble. Hundreds of students, most of them teenage boys, were inside the Al-Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in the town of Sidoarjo when it collapsed on Monday.

As of today, we are still searching for 49 people who are still missing, said National Disaster Mitigation Agency chief Suharyanto. He further said victim identification had been complicated by the fact that most of the victims were under 18 and did not have government identity cards or fingerprint records.
