Interim government health adviser Nurjahan Begum stated that most injuries from the recent 5.7-magnitude earthquake in Dhaka were caused by panic rather than the tremor itself. During a visit to Dhaka Medical College Hospital on Friday, she explained that many victims were hurt while jumping or colliding in fear. Among the injured are several university students, one of whom is in critical condition. Two patients arrived from Narsingdi, including a child who died and whose father remains in intensive care. Three deaths were reported at Mitford Hospital, including a medical student. Nurjahan Begum emphasized that despite the moderate strength of the quake, the number of injuries was unexpectedly high due to panic-driven reactions. She assured that all public hospitals have been instructed to ensure proper treatment for the injured and that no lapses in medical care will occur.
