Nine people were wounded and a total of 17 victims were rescued from the rubble.

According to the ministry, 22 of the fatalities were recovered deceased from the collapsed building and one later died in a hospital. The children include three boys aged 1, 16 and 17 and three girls aged 8, 11 and 14.
