Ten school children have died, and three have been declared missing after a dormitory engulfed in flames in the early hours of Monday, September 14. 


The fire occurred at about 4.30 am in a school dormitory located in Byamungu Islamic Kyerwa, Kagera in Tanzania. 


The Kyerwa District Commissioner Rashid Maimu told reporters that there were 74 pupils in the dormitory when the fire began. 


Fifty pupils were rescued unharmed, six pupils were rushed to nearby hospitals, and three are missing, reports said.
