It seems that the shock of the grieving family is indescribably great for the unexpected news. How is the situation at the scene?
[기자]
Yes, 14 people who died in the Itaewon accident are being held in the funeral home of the hospital where I am.
It is the largest number of deaths among hospitals and bereaved families also continue to visit.
Families who arrived late met with families who arrived earlier and shouted, “How could this be?”
The grieving family comforted each other over the sudden tragic news, but they couldn’t stop crying.
The police are informing the bereaved family individually of the identified deceased.
Upon hearing the news, the bereaved family is looking for the funeral home to check the body.
The police have installed a control line and are blocking access except for the bereaved family.
The morgue has not yet been built here.
The bodies of the dead were placed in 42 large hospitals in Seoul and Gyeonggi province.
Of these, more than 140 have been identified.
The number of injured was 103, an increase of 21 compared to the morning.
The number of seriously injured was 24 and the number of minor injuries increased from 16 to 79.
In particular, as there are not many serious injuries, the possibility that the death toll will rise further in the future cannot be ruled out.
The government is focusing on treating patients by operating in 14 disaster hospitals, including Seoul National University Hospital and Hanyang University Hospital.
So far, this is YTN Yoon Seong-hoon from Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital.
