Seven people, including four children, died when strong winds from a rainstorm caused a metal roof on a school’s activity centre to collapse in Thailand, officials said on Tuesday.

The latest victim was a six-year-old boy who died on Monday after the collapse at the Wat Nern Por primary school, according to the public relations office in Phichit province, 185 miles north of Bangkok.
