• The students were washing their hands when heavy debris from an adjacent construction site fell onto the school compound.
• The injured students were referred to Mama Lucy Hospital after initial treatment at Uwezo Clinic.
• Authorities have launched investigations into the incident, particularly focusing on whether the construction site adhered to safety and regulatory standards.
