Dozens feared dead in Indonesia school collapse, officials say
In a tragic incident on Monday morning, a school building in Indonesia collapsed, leaving dozens of people feared dead. The collapse occurred at Taman Rama Mandalahayu school in the city of Cimanggis, West Java province. Rescue teams rushed to the scene to search for survivors and recover bodies from the debris.
Officials have reported that at least 41 students and two teachers were in the building when it collapsed. As of now, there is no confirmed number of casualties, but authorities fear that the death toll may rise as the rescue operation continues.
The cause of the collapse is not yet clear, but some reports suggest that heavy rain in the area could have weakened the structure of the building. The local government has promised a thorough investigation into the incident to determine the exact cause.

This heartbreaking incident has sent shockwaves across the region, with many calling for improved safety regulations for school buildings to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
