Nursery Fire Claims 14 Newborns in Islamabad | US News

A horrific fire in Islamabad’s Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences nursery killed fourteen newborns after an exploding air conditioner ignited the blaze — only one infant survived. In a swift response, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif fired the Health Secretary, signaling grave accountability. Grieving parents, including a mother who gave birth just days before, are left shattered. The fire was contained to the nursery, sparing other patients. A 24-hour fact-finding panel has been appointed to investigate the cause, safety failures, and emergency response. National leaders mourn, and citizens demand justice and systemic reforms to prevent future tragedies. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
