A 10-year-old boy named Omar was killed and his father, Uzzal, critically injured when a wall of their rented home in Gabtoli, Narsingdi, collapsed during an earthquake on Friday morning, November 21. Both were initially rescued and taken to a local hospital before being transferred to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) due to their critical condition. Doctors at DMCH declared Omar dead upon arrival, while his father was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). According to Omar’s uncle, the father and son were inside their home when the wall suddenly gave way, trapping them underneath. Omar was a student at a madrasa’s Hifz section, and his father worked as an office assistant at the National Housing Authority. The family, originally from Pakundia in Kishoreganj, had been living in a rented house in Narsingdi. Police confirmed that Omar’s body is being kept at the DMCH morgue while his father remains under treatment.
