# At least 26 children, all below the age of 13, and two teachers have died when a school roof collapsed in Peshawar in northwestern Pakistan. The roof of a higher floor reportedly collapsed onto the roof of the first floor, which in turn collapsed on children in classes. About 40 people have been injured while rescuers are searching the rubble for any survivors. The death toll is expected to rise. Pakistan’s president, Asif Ali Zardari, says this heart-wrenching tragedy has plunged the entire nation into shock.
