All trapped individuals were rescued and sent to hospital after a two-storey building collapsed in southern China.

Video filmed in Longzhou County in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on May 31 shows firefighters searching and rescuing on site.

Tragically, two people succumbed to their injuries despite rescue efforts, while the other two are stable and receiving treatment.

Former tenant Zhang Mei, who had rented multiple rooms on the first floor of the collapsed building, revealed that the first floor belonged to the primary school, while the ground floor was owned by another entity.

Zhang, who had operated a store there for nearly four years, noted the building was decades old but showed no major issues apart from frequent leaks. Two months ago, the school reclaimed the first floor due to space shortages, prompting her to relocate her business.

The collapse occurred around noon, coinciding with the school's lunchtime dismissal. Zhang was unsure if any students were among the casualties.

Authorities are currently conducting an investigation and managing the aftermath of the incident.

5月31日11时56分，广西龙州县龙州镇民族小学附近一座二层商铺发生倒塌，共导致4人被困。
截至15时55分，被困人员已全部救出送往医院救治。
截至31日19时，2人因伤势过重抢救无效不幸身亡，2人正在医院治疗，生命体征平稳。
目前善后处置、原因调查等相关工作正在有序进行。 据倒塌楼房二楼的一名前租户张梅称，她家住在事发地附近，曾租用倒塌楼房二楼多间房屋开店。二楼房屋归属民族小学，一楼房屋归属其他单位。两个月前她的租约到期，校方因校舍紧张，将二楼房屋收回作为办公室或者宿舍，她就搬离寻找新的铺面。 张梅表示，她在二楼开店近四年，这处楼房的楼龄有几十年了，她搬离前房屋主体未见异常，只是经常漏雨。此处楼房的后侧就是民族小学，事发时正值学生中午放学的时间，至于是否有学生伤亡，她也并不清楚。
