Five injured in second school collapse

At least five students were injured when a school in Haiti partially collapsed today.

The incident in the capital came less than a week after the collapse of another school killed 89.

Portions of the Grace Divine school in Port-au-Prince came crashing down while class was in session today.

As word of the incident spread, crowds of anxious parents rushed to the scene, along with ambulances and crews from the collapse of the College La Promesse in nearby Petionville.

No-one was trapped inside and there were no deaths.

Five students were treated for injuries, said Jean-Fetner Frederic, administrator of the nearby Canape Vert Hospital.

Two other students at another school in the area suffered minor injuries when hundreds of parents rushed the building based on a false rumour it had collapsed, Mr Frederic said.
