Cairo (HRNW) A fire that broke out Wednesday in a hospital in north Cairo killed three people and injured 32 others, the Egyptian health ministry said.
“The fire started at the radiology ward in a charity-run hospital in the district of Matariya,” ministry spokesman Hossam Abdelghaffar was quoted as saying by official media.
He did not elaborate on the cause of the fire, which was later brought under control.
The megalopolis of Cairo is home to some 20 million people, many of them living in informal residential areas with dilapidated infrastructure.
