Legkevesebb 18 gyerek meghalt, 70-en eltűntek, 27 diák pedig megsérült egy közép-kenyai általános iskolában keletkezett tűzben – közölte pénteken a rendőrség.
A lángok a főváros Nairobitól 200 kilométerre északra fekvő, Nyeri megyei Hillside Endarasha Általános Iskola kollégiumi épületében csaptak fel péntekre virradó éjjel. Az elsődleges jelentések szerint a helyszínen 17 holttestet találtak „a felismerhetetlenségig megégve”, a hatóságok később közölték, hogy a kórházban egy tanuló belehalt sérüléseibe.
Rigathi Gachagua elnökhelyettes tájékoztatása szerint az iskola fiúkollégiumában lakó több mint 150 gyermekből péntek estig mindössze 86-ot találtak meg, és csupán 37 tanulót sikerült visszaadni a családjának. Egyúttal felszólította mindazokat a környéken élőket, akik esetleg menedéket nyújtottak a tűzvész miatt elmenekült gyerekeknek, hogy jelentkezzenek a hatóságoknál.
A kenyai oktatási minisztérium közölte: a kigyulladt kollégiumban több mint 150, tíz és tizennnégy év közötti fiú lakott. A tárca korábbi jelentése szerint a kenyai bentlakásos – és többnyire fából épült – iskolákban gyakoriak a tüzek, amelyeket gyakran gyújtogatás okoz, illetve a kábítószerrel való visszaéléssel és a túlzsúfoltsággal vannak összefüggésben.

A kelet-kínai többemeletes házban keletkezett tűz következtében 15-en meghaltak, legalább 40-en megsérültek – a tűz okát vizsgálják. A hírt a BBC közölte.
A tűz egy felhőkarcoló több emeletét borította be Nanjing városában. Az előzetes információk szerint a tűz először az első emeleten ütött ki, ahol elektromos kerékpárokat tároltak. Felszámolásában 25 tűzoltóautó és 130 tűzoltó vett részt.
A helyi tisztviselők szerint 15 ember meghalt, további 44 embert kórházban ápolnak, egyikük állapota kritikus, egyé pedig súlyos.

Late on July 11, Typhoon Bavi made landfall in eastern China’s Zhejiang Province, bringing powerful winds, torrential rain and flooding across the region. Nearly two million people were evacuated before the storm, while roads were submerged, trees toppled and transport services were disrupted in parts of Zhejiang, Shanghai and Fujian. Bavi is the second typhoon to strike China in just 10 days. It comes as the country is still recovering from Typhoon Maysak, which triggered devastating floods across southern China. Now, the focus of the severe weather has shifted east, with emergency crews responding to a new wave of flooding and storm damage. #typhoon#china#breakingnews#severeweather#anotherone
Az első jelentések szerint legkevesebb közel 30 áldozata lehet a tűznek, ami Oszakában tört ki egy kereskedelmi épületben.
Oszaka városának egyik bevásárló-negyedében tört ki a tűz, és félő, hogy legkevesebb 27 ember életét vesztette. A lángok pénteken csaptak fel a nyolc emelet magas épület negyedik szintjén.
A rendőrség már vizsgálja az esetet, amely gyújtogatásra gyanakszik, amiről a Kyodo News számolt be nyomozati forrásokra hivatkozva. A város tűzoltóság egyik tisztviselője elmondta, 27 embernek szív- és tüdőleállása volt – Japánban ezt a kifejezést használják, mielőtt egy halálesetet megerősítenek, egy ember pedig megsérült – írja a France 24.
Több felvétel is napvilágot látott, amiken az látszott, ahogy füst gomolylik kifelé a negyedik emeleti ablakokból. Ezen a szinten egy pszichiátriai klinika működik, egyelőre nem tudni, hogy kik az áldozatok.
A tüzet nem sokkal azután jelentették, hogy délelőtt 10 órakor kinyitott a klinika. Nagyjából 30 percen belül már el is oltották a lángokat. Az egyik szemtanú azt mondta, látott egy nőt, aki az egyik ablakból kiáltozott segítségért, de nem tudni, hogy életben maradt vagy sem.
2019-ben Kiotóban egy animációs stúdióban több mint 30 ember halt meg gyújtogatás miatt, aminek híre az egész sajtót bejárta.
