Ten newborns killed in north India hospital fire

Al Jazeera  

The babies died from burns and suffocation after a blaze swept through a neonatal intensive care unit in Jhansi. Emergency responders rescued 38 newborns from the ward, which housed 49 infants at the time of the incident, said Uttar Pradesh state’s Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak on Saturday. While there were fire alarms in the intensive care unit, parents and witnesses said they did not activate during the blaze, with hospital staff acting only after they saw the smoke and fire. Pathak said a safety audit of the hospital was carried out in February, followed by a fire drill three months later. “I pray to God to give them the strength to bear this immense loss.” Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced compensation equivalent to $5,900 to each bereaved family.
