Baghdad hospital blaze kills many

Three days of mourning have been declared in Iraq after a fire engulfed a Baghdad hospital treating coronavirus patients, killing at least twenty three people and injuring dozens more. The fire - reportedly caused by an exploding oxygen tank - tore through an intensive care ward, with patients on ventilators unable to move.
