The death toll from the collapse of a school in Indonesia last week has climbed to 65, authorities said on Monday, while rescuers continued to search for survivors under the rubble, seven days after the disaster.

Concrete walls and floors caved in on hundreds of mostly teenage boys at the Al Khoziny Islamic boarding school in East Java province on Sept. 30. Most managed to escape.

Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, said more bodies and body parts had been found, raising the confirmed death toll to 65.

It remained unclear how many people were still missing. Syafii told reporters the search operation would continue until rescuers were “sure that no victims are left.”
