Most of the children who died were reportedly under 13 years old. Rescue teams rushed to the scene and searched for survivors. The injured were taken to nearby hospitals by ambulance.
Rescue officials said the roof of an upper floor fell onto the floor below. This caused more of the building to collapse and trapped students inside their classrooms.
