Fire at a hospital in Rio de Janeiro leaves at least 11 people dead - Brazilian officials
A fire raced through a hospital in Rio de Janeiro, forcing staff to wheel patients into the streets on beds or in wheelchairs and leaving at least 11 people dead, Brazilian officials said on Friday.
TV images showed staff tending to patients sitting in wheelchairs with IV poles beside them in the street, some on sheets and mattresses. Elderly and intensive care patients were among those rescued. "She can't speak properly. I need to find my mother, but no one is giving any information," said the woman, identified by the news channel as Tania Ferreira.
