Six children were killed on Sunday by the collapsing arch of a gateway in a rural household in Fengcheng City, east China's Jiangxi Province, according to local sources.

The old arch fell suddenly and killed all six children playing on it.

The authorities and families of the dead are dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy and compensation work was described as underway.
