A roof collapse at a private tutoring center in the Kahna suburb of Lahore, Pakistan, has killed 14 children and left several others injured.

巴基斯坦拉合爾 Kahna 郊區的一間私人補習中心屋頂坍塌，造成14名兒童死亡，另有數人受傷。

The accident happened on Tuesday at a center located inside a house in the Basti Eid Gah area. According to witnesses and official reports, the roof collapsed while workers were repairing tiles on an unfinished second floor. Experts believe the collapse was caused by a combination of an old building structure and too much weight from the construction work. Between 35 and 40 students were present during the event; reports show the victims were aged 4 to 12, and a 30-year-old female teacher was also injured.

這起事故發生在週二，地點位於 Basti Eid Gah 區的一棟房屋內補習中心。根據目擊者與官方報告，當時工人在尚未完工的二樓鋪設磁磚，屋頂隨即坍塌。專家認為，坍塌是由於老舊的建築結構加上施工重量過重共同導致。事發時現場約有 35 至 40 名學生；報告顯示死者年齡在 4 至 12 歲之間，一名 30 歲的女教師也受傷了。

Emergency teams from Rescue 1122 and the Edhi ambulance service used light machinery and hand tools to rescue the victims. Police have arrested two people, including the owner of the center, while they wait for a formal inquiry. Commissioner Marryam Khan emphasized that the investigation will be transparent to ensure the responsible parties are held accountable. Furthermore, this tragedy highlights a wider problem with unsafe urban buildings in Pakistan, where poor materials and weak building laws often lead to similar accidents, such as a previous collapse in Karachi last July.

來自 Rescue 1122 與 Edhi 救護車服務的救援隊使用了輕型機械與手工具來營救受害者。警方已逮捕兩人，包括中心負責人，目前正等待正式調查。專員 Marryam Khan 強調，調查將保持透明，以確保責任方被追究。此外，這場悲劇凸顯了巴基斯坦城市建築不安全的普遍問題，劣質材料與鬆散的建築法規經常導致類似事故，例如去年七月在卡拉奇發生的坍塌事件。

At the national level, President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed their deep sadness. The government has asserted that strict safety rules must be put in place to prevent these kinds of building disasters from happening again.

在國家層面，總統 Asif Ali Zardari 與總理 Shehbaz Sharif 表示深切哀悼。政府堅稱必須制定嚴格的安全規定，以防止此類建築災害再次發生。

Authorities are still investigating the exact cause of the collapse, while the government calls for better construction safety standards.

當局仍在調查坍塌的確切原因，而政府則呼籲提升建築安全標準。
