WorldAt least 14 infants killed in Islamabad hospital fire

At least 14 infants died in a fire at a state-run hospital in Islamabad on Wednesday, Pakistan’s prime minister said. The health minister blamed the tragedy on a blast in the nursery ward. The fire is among the country’s deadliest hospital incidents in recent years, amid criticism that public facilities are under-resourced, overburdened and mismanaged.
