Pakistan School Roof Collapse Kills Dozens of Students and a Teacher
A school roof collapsed in Peshawar, Pakistan, resulting in the deaths of at least 17 students and one teacher, with over 40 others injured. Some reports indicate higher death tolls, with figures ranging up to 29 students and one teacher killed. The collapse occurred during classes, with authorities stating that at least 27 students, most younger than 13, died along with a teacher. The ceiling came down on students after the roof of a higher floor collapsed, crumpling two stories. Building collapses are noted as common in Pakistan due to poor safety standards and construction materials.
