Pakistan house collapse kills children
At least seven children were killed in Pakistan's southern province of Sindh when a house collapsed, sparking off a fire. The roof of the house in the city of Sukkur caved in when people gathered to celebrate the birth of a baby on Sunday. It started a kitchen fire, which burned some of the children to death. Reports said the children were aged between five and 12 years. More than 30 other children and adults were taken to hospital with injuries. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
