Initially, Mansuri and his spouse had taken their twins to the hospital for specialist treatment due to respiratory problems.
He told the National Herald, “We never thought, not even in our worst nightmares, that we would see our babies in the state they were in at the post-mortem house.”
Forty-five of the 55 infants receiving treatment in the NICU at the time of the fire were saved, according to the Associated Press, which cited authorities.
There were sixteen injuries in addition to the ten fatalities. According to authorities, the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit or a malfunction in an equipment.
That was used to increase the oxygen levels in the NICU, as reported by BBC News.
