Imagine a school building that was being worked on.
Suddenly, part of it fell down.
Sadly, some people were hurt, and some didn't make it.
Rescuers have been working hard to find anyone still stuck.
The building was an Islamic boarding school, and the students inside were mostly boys.
The building was being changed, with more floors being added without permission.

Now, rescuers are using machines and carefully digging to search for the missing.

Nearly 50 people remain missing after the collapse.
