Rescue personnel searched the rubble for several more children who are believed to still be trapped under the debris at the school, which was located in Peshawar, the capital of a northern province of the country, according to Bilal Faizi, an emergency services spokesperson.<\/p>\n

All of the children who died were 13 years old or younger, and some of the injured are in critical condition, Mohammad Asim, a spokesperson for Lady Reading Hospital, said.<\/p>\n

Authorities are investigating the cause of the collapse. According to police, the building was constructed with weak materials and was holding excessive weight.<\/p>\n
