纳希克一家医院氧气罐泄漏，致22名冠新冠患者死亡

NASHIK: Twenty-two critically ill Covid-19 patients, including 10 women, died on Wednesday afternoon after their oxygen supply was disrupted for over an hour due to a leak in the tank providing oxygen at Zakir Hussain Hospital managed by the Nashik municipal corporation (NMC).

纳希克：周三下午，纳希克市政公司(NMC)管理的Zakir Hussain医院氧气罐泄漏，导致供氧中断一个多小时，22名新冠危重患者死亡，其中有10名女性。

Eleven of the deceased were on ventilator support and the other 11 on oxygen. The victims were aged between 33 and 75. The hospital is a dedicated Covid facility and had 157 patients, 131 of them on oxygen support. Sixty-three patients were critical and 15 of them on ventilator support when the leak occurred.

死者中有11人需要呼吸机支持，另外11人需要吸氧。死者年龄介于33岁到75岁之间。

该医院是新冠定点医院，有157名患者，其中131名需要吸氧。63名患者危重，发生泄漏时其中15名正在利用呼吸机吸氧。

As white fumes engulfed the area, hospital staff and relatives rushed in to try and save patients. Hospital medical officer Manoj Kankariya said five patients were shifted to other city hospitals after the supply was disrupted.

随着白色烟雾吞没该区域，医院工作人员和家属冲了进来，试图挽救病人。医院的管理人员Manoj Kankariya说，供应中断后，5名病人被转移到其他医院。

“We did our best to save the lives of as many patients as possible,” Kankariya said.

“我们尽了最大努力挽救尽可能多的病人，”Kankariya说。

Till late Wednesday night, no FIR had been registered in connection with the incident. Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray announced a high-level probe and said anyone found responsible of negligence would not be spared. The state government announced an ex gratia of Rs 5 lakh to the kin of each of the dead.

直到周三深夜，还没有与该事件有关的FIR记录。马哈拉施特拉邦首席部长乌德哈夫·萨克雷)宣布进行调查，并表示，不会放过任何失职行为的人。邦政府宣布给予每位死者亲属50万卢比的抚恤金。

NMC fire brigade chief Sanjay Bairagi said four tenders were rushed to the hospital within five minutes of receiving a call from the hospital. “There were thick white fumes in the area where the oxygen tank is located. Our firemen faced problems venturing to the tank since visibility was virtually zero. They managed to plug the leak in 15-20 minutes,” he said.

NMC消防队队长Sanjay Bairagi说，在接到医院打来的电话后，五分钟内四辆消防车紧急赶往医院。“氧气罐所在区域有浓厚的白色烟雾。由于能见度几乎为零，我们的消防队员进去时不大顺利。他们成功在15到20分钟内堵住了泄漏处。”

Only in India can something like this happen. Life of ordinary citizens hold no values for the government and others. We are at the pit of third-world countries. India was once a thriving and the fastest growing economy in the world. It’s a real shame what has become of India under the current regime.

只有在印度才会发生这样的事情。对政府而言，普通公民的生命没有价值。

我们正处于第三世界国家的深渊。

印度曾经是世界上增长最快的经济体。

在这届印度政府的领导下，印度变成了这样，真是耻辱。

Lairs . The center miserably failed in supply of Oxygen to states. Now they say its leak but its shortage in accordance to all International news. Indian Media is suppressed and cannot tell the truth but carry the lies of PMs and his hopeless Ministers

撒谎，印度中央未能向各邦提供氧气，现在他们说出现氧气泄漏，而国外媒体都说印度氧气供应短缺。

印度媒体被压制了，不能说出真相，反而传播印度总理及其绝望部长们的谎言

Next what? Food shortage?

接下来是什么?

粮食短缺?

In a develo nation that claims to be developed people can die due to lack of Oxygen, that too in hospitals. It is unfortunate and alarming. It is unbelievable that a hospital has no backup stable plan manage in case of Oxygen crisis. It is a shame that so many patents' life were sacrificed simply due to mismanagement. Still, everything looks so 'normal' in a country which still struggles to understand the meaning of value for life.

在一个自称发达的发展家，人们在医院因为缺氧而死亡。不幸啊，令人震惊。

令人难以置信的是，一家医院竟然没有应对氧气危机的备用计划。

令人遗憾的是，仅仅因为管理不善，就牺牲了这么多患者的生命。

尽管如此，在一个仍在努力理解生命价值意义的国家，一切看起来都那么“正常”。
