Fire breaks out in Beijing hospital wing housing critically ill people – video

People trapped in a Beijing hospital apparently tied bedsheets together and escaped by climbing out of windows, as seen in videos circulating on social media.

The fire at Changfeng hospital has killed at least 29 people and forced dozens to evacuate. Twenty-six of those who died were hospital patients, according to local officials, who added that the blaze occurred in a wing housing critically ill patients.

Authorities blocked access to the hospital on Wednesday, while announcing an investigation into the incident
