A mob has stormed a hospital to take away a body of their relative who recently died of coronavirus. The incident took place at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre in Karachi, the province of Sindh in southeast Pakistan.
Video posted on Twitter showed the aftermath of the attack. Rows of chairs are flipped upside down where the floor is covered with broken glass.
The windows around the reception are shattered as well as the glass doors by the entrance. It is believed the rampaging mob headed to the morgue in the basement to grab the body. “A group of some 50 to 60 people, who were reportedly the attendants of a patient who died during treatment, attacked the COVID-19 ward,” Dr Seemin Jamali, the executive director of the JPMC, told The
