The bodies of the 61 people in the building were found, as well as seven parts of the body that the police are trying to identify, said the disaster mitigation agency in a statement, interrupting the research effort in the event of a disaster which he had described as mortal of the year.

“The operations due to the collapsed structure of the Al Khoziny school … are officially closed,” said Mohammad Syafii, head of the research and rescue agency, after the authorities eliminated debris.

The cut members are among the parts identified, said Budi Irawan, assistant chief of the agency.

The rescuers had used excavators and cranes to lift large pieces of concrete. By searching the tunnels, they shouted the names of the alleged victims still alive.
