Rescue operations are continuing in Sidoarjo, East Java, where dozens are believed to be trapped under rubble after an Islamic boarding school collapsed on Monday. Here's a recap of the latest:

• Eleven people have been freed from the debris since rescue efforts began on Monday - though two of those people later died in hospital
• There are seven trapped victims who are responsive and receiving food and water. Another eight are stuck and cannot be moved, said authorities
• Rescuers have to be careful when removing wreckage from the site, as the building could collapse further, says a civil engineering expert
• Survivors recall their harrowing escape from the collapsing building: "I heard the sound of falling rocks," one 13-year-old student told local media
• Meanwhile, family members are nervously waiting for news about their loved ones - many of whom are teenage students
• The disaster has put a spotlight on construction standards in the country. Many such Islamic boarding schools operate informally without strong regulation

We're pausing our live coverage for now, but you can find more information in this news story.

Islamiyah, a resident of Bangkalan Regency, is awaiting news about her relatives trapped under the rubble.

"So far, there has been no communication from the school to the family. There has also been no explanation from the Islamic boarding school regarding the data," she said, calling for more transparency from authorities.

"Be more transparent. Because we also need information. They won’t allow us near the location. How long must we wait?" she said.

On Tuesday evening, the national disaster management agency (BNPB) said that 91 people were suspected to be buried under the rubble.

A few hours earlier, the agency had put the number at 38. Surabaya's search and rescue chief had also earlier said that the school estimated that 140 students were inside the building at the time of the collapse. And with 102 people evacuated, around 38 students are believe to still be trapped.

The head of the BNPB Dr Suharyanto has called for patience, saying authorities are still trying to confirm the number of people in hospital and trapped under rubble, and adding that "data is always conflicting" in every disaster.

We've been reporting that the operation to rescue trapped victims is complicated. Here are a few reasons why:

• The use of heavy equipment like excavators and cranes could destabilise the debris, risking small landslides and endangering the lives of survivors, search and rescue chief Mohammad Syafii said
• Rescuers have to pass through underground culverts to reach survivors, and only have about 60cm of access, Mr Syafii added

• The two-storey building had an unstable foundation and could not support the weight of additional construction, officials say. The regent of Sidoarjo claimed the school had not obtained permits to expand the building
• The collapsed building is also connected to other buildings - which could also collapse if rescuers are not careful, says Mudji Irmawan, a civil engineering expert

As rescue efforts grind on, families are waiting at a nearby holding station - which is also the nearest that journalists can get to the collapsed building site. Here's what the situation looks like now on the ground:

11 people have been freed from the debris since rescue efforts began on Monday, according to rescue official Emi Freezer.

However, two of those 11 people later died in hospital.

There is currently one trapped victim who is able to respond directly to rescuers - though he is completely immobilised and trapped, Mr Emi said. Rescuers are constructing a tunnel underneath the building in an attempt to reach him.

I've spoken to Mudji Irmawan, a civil engineering expert from the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology who's involved in assessing the collapsed building structure.

Considering the school building could further collapse, rescuers have to be careful when removing the wreckage from this site, he said, adding that they plan to carefully remove debris piece by piece with a crane.

The collapsed building is also connected to existing buildings next to it, which are also vulnerable to collapse if rescuers are not careful, he said, emphasising the difficulty of the rescue operation.

13-year-old Muhammad Rijalul Qoib, one of the survivors of the incident, described the moments leading up to the building’s collapse.

He said that only the first floor was occupied at the time, with "hundreds of people" gathered to perform a prayer.

"Many, perhaps hundreds of people, were about to pray. At that moment, I heard the sound of falling rocks. The sound continued, and it got louder and louder," he said.

Rijalul immediately ran outside but was struck by falling debris from the roof.

"I wanted to run (from the prayer room) and then the roof hit my face," he told local news outlet Detik.

He managed to survive by climbing out of the rubble, with the help of someone who pointed him toward an escape route.

The building that collapsed on Monday had been in the process of having two extra floors being added to it.

The two-storey building had an unstable foundation and could not support the weight of the construction of the two more floors, the disaster mitigation agency said.

Sidoarjo town's regent says the school's management had not obtained permits for the expansion of the building.

Al Khoziny is a traditional Islamic boarding school in Indonesia known as a pesantren. Many pesantren operate informally, without strong regulation or consistent monitoring.

The situation remains precarious for survivors trapped in rubble, with authorities warning of further collapse. Rescuers are refraining from using heavy equipment like excavators and cranes, for fear of destabilising the debris.

While they help lift the concrete slabs and open access, "shifting the slabs may also endanger the lives of survivors still trapped beneath the rubble", said Mohammad Syafii, head of the search and rescue agency Basarnas.

Imron, 43, is still waiting for the news of his 14-year-old son, Muhammad Haikal, who's believed to be trapped under the rubble.

According to the school, there were six children named Haikal in the building of the time of the collapse.

Every time the evacuation team found a survivor named Haikal, Imron immediately contacted all three hospitals.

On Tuesday, when he saw a video of a child named Haikal being evacuated, Imron rushed to the scene.

However, that wasn't his son.

"I had high hopes, and I was starting to feel hopeful that my son would be safe," he told the BBC, adding that he was asked to identify his son by his voice.

"But judging by his voice, it wasn't my son's."

While Imron was disappointed, he is still clinging onto hope that Haikal, his son, will be rescued.

"There were a lot of Haikals in this incident. So I was confused, trying to find out where else to find the data. But a few hours later, they said that among the children being evacuated, there were two other Haikals. Among those currently being evacuated, Haikal is one of my children. God willing, he's my son."

"I believe one of them is my son now."

We now bring you the latest from authorities, who have just wrapped up a press conference.

Rescuers have identified 15 people for evacuation in one of three impacted zones, Mohammad Syafii, head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, told reporters.

Of the 15 people, eight cannot be moved because their torsos are trapped by debris, he said. Meanwhile, seven are still responsive and can be given food and water.

Reaching trapped survivors is a complicated task, Mr Syafii said.

"When we excavate, there is a risk of small landslides on both sides," he said, noting that the collapsed construction site was on top of old buildings.

Rescuers have to pass through underground culverts to reach survivors, and only have about 60cm of access, he added.

"With the current construction, with this rubble, even a single vibration can cause other impacts," he said, adding that they would "implement alternative measures".

Rescuers are racing against time to reach survivors within the "golden timeframe" of 72 hours - though Mr Syafii said that with fluids and vitamins, the survivors could live longer.

"We are currently pursuing the golden time, as it is possible that we can detect life within this golden timeframe, allowing us to rescue the victim," he said.

I'm currently at the command post set up by the rescue team following the collapse of a school building in East Java, Indonesia.

The post is located about 200 meters away from the collapsed building.

This is where families and relatives are anxiously waiting for updates on the evacuation.

The authorities are providing various services to support them, including a public kitchen, as well as logistics such as mattresses, prayer mats, and medication.

The social services department is also providing psychosocial support to the families, teachers, and surviving students to help them cope with the trauma of this tragedy.

• Three students were killed and 99 others are in hospital, some being treated for critical injuries Rescuers are still racing to find 38 people believed to be trapped in the rubble
• However, the rescue has been temporarily suspended because the collapsed building remains unstable and at risk of further collapses
• Earlier, the National Search and Rescue Agency said it is preparing for a "specialised operation" as the nature of the collapse has made their efforts challenging
• Crying and shouting can be heard from the rubble, authorities say, while anxious relatives have camped out at the school overnight awaiting news of their loved ones
• The two-storey building was under construction when it gave way. Authorities said it had an unstable foundation and could not support the weight of additional construction

Rosida's 15-year-old son, Kafa Ahmad Maulana is among dozens missing. Her other son survived the collapse at the Al-Khoziny Islamic Boarding School and is being treated at the Delta Suria Hospital.

She says she arrived at the school at around 19:00 local time Monday after friends told her what had happened.

"I last spoke with him the day before the incident, and nothing seemed unusual during that conversation," she tells the BBC.

We have verified a video, external showing the roof and upper structure of the school building caved in, leaving corrugated iron, concrete and other rubble scattered over a wide area.

In the footage we can also see people, several of whom appear to be distressed, waiting on one side of the debris as rescue workers search for survivors.

It has been filmed from above on what seems to be a balcony adjacent to the collapsed building, as other people look down on the wreckage.

The surrounding rooftops and buildings visible in the video allowed us to confirm the partially collapsed building was Al-Khoziny Islamic Boarding School, after comparing it with satellite imagery and other pictures published by news agencies.

No permits have been issued for the expansion of the two-storey boarding school, claims Subandi, the regent of Sidoarjo town.

Workers had poured concrete for the third floor, but "the construction was not up to standard... so the whole thing collapsed," Subandi told Indonesia's Kompas TV on Monday.

There have been past cases of Islamic boarding schools building their mosques and boarding houses "straight away, and only then do they get the permits," he claims.

I'm here at the Al-Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in Sidoarjo, where I'm seeing a steady flow of activity from search and rescue personnel and officials from various agencies. It is very crowded here - officials remain on high alert while the waiting families are visibly worried.

For now, however, the rescue has been temporarily suspended. Earlier, East Java Police's Chief Inspector General Nanang Avianto said this is because the collapsed building remains unstable and at risk of further movement. Heavy equipment has been brought to the site.

When I tried to approach the family residence of the pesantren’s caretakers, I was not able to gain access.

The building's collapse during Asar prayers yesterday has turned this place into a scene of tragedy. Locals are still gathered here, while many anxious parents of students are waiting for news about their children.

Everyone is anxiously awaiting the green light to resume the search.

Now more information on the student who has died in the disaster.

Local media have identified him as Maulana Alvan Ibrahimavic.

Police escorted his body to the funeral home on Monday night, the police chief of Blega district - the student's hometown - told local media.

Prayers were conducted and the student was buried in the early hours of Tuesday.

Police say the victim recently graduated from elementary school and enrolled in the Islamic boarding school about four months ago.
