Tragedy in Savar -- Humanity in Debris and Unique Role of Enam Medical College
Journal Title: Journal of Enam Meical College - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
On 24 April 2013, a tragic disaster happened very proximate to Enam Medical College. Rana Plaza, a nine-storey building on Dhaka-Aricha highway, just two kilometers away from the college completely collapsed costing around 1200 lives, severely injuring thousands and missing an uncertain number of garments workers of different factories located in that plaza. In South Asia, this tragedy is just next to Bhupal disaster in India in 1984 in which 3787 persons succumbed to death because of tremendous gas explosion in Union Carbide India Limited.1 This tragedy is the world’s deadliest garment industry disaster.
