This is so tragic :(

The number of people understood to have died after an oxygen tank exploded, and caused a fire at an Iraqi hospital has risen to 82, the country's interior ministry has said.

The fire broke out at Ibn Khatib hospital in the Diyala Bridge area of the capital Baghdad after an accident caused an oxygen tank to explode.

The government has said that at least 110 people were injured. (Source)

I don’t think the cause for the Indian fire has been solved yet, but the hospitals are currently at 200-300% capacity. It’s such a sh!tty situation in this region of the world right now. People are literally dying on the pavement outside waiting to get in. India has broken the world record for the fourth consecutive day for most cases in one day.

I’m sure it has something to do with being over capacity tbh. But at the same time, the staff are extremely over-worked at the moment. Safety protocols are often missed when large amounts of patients constantly arrive. It’s a shame it happened for sure though.
