The collapse occurred in Peshawar, where emergency teams were working through the debris after the structure gave way. Reports differ on the precise death toll as rescue operations continue, with initial accounts citing at least 28 children and a female teacher, while later updates put the total at 35 or more. Pakistan’s prime minister urged rescuers to accelerate the search, making the incident the most immediate large-scale humanitarian emergency identified in the latest global coverage.
