Rescuers recover bodies as death toll of Indonesia school collapse reaches 54

The death toll from an Indonesian school collapse rose to 63 on Monday, officials said, as workers pulled more remains from the rubble of the building that collapsed last week. Part of the multi-storey Islamic boarding school  on Indonesia's Java island collapsed as more than 150 students gathered for afternoon prayers.

Around half a dozen youngsters are still unaccounted for. "They hope they can conclude the recovery on Monday, and they will return the bodies to the families," National Search and Rescue Agency, operations director told a press conference.
