On October 17th, a gas leak caused about 30 people to suffocate inside a textile production unit in the “Al Majd” industrial zone in Tangier.
According to local sources, the emergency department of Mohammed V Hospital in Tangier received dozens of cases of asphyxiation from gas inhalation.
Sources reported that at least five cases are in a critical state in the emergency department, noting that the gas leak was caused by the gas bottle’s explosion, causing dozens to faint.
The same sources confirmed that the authorities opened an investigation into the accident to uncover its causes and circumstances, and to determine its legal consequences.
