  "account": "PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A private school's roof collapsed in northwestern Pakistan on Thursday, claiming at least 10 lives and leaving over two dozen children injured, according to an emergency services official.\n\nBilal Faizi, a spokesman for the emergency services, reported that several children are still trapped under the debris in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Rescuers are working to clear the rubble and reach those still missing.\n\nBuilding collapses are alarmingly common in Pakistan, where construction standards are often poorly enforced. Many structures are built using substandard materials, and safety regulations are frequently disregarded to cut costs.",
