    "Doctors are battling to save the lives of the remaining 22 victims," Dr. Manzur said, adding that patients kept arriving at the hospital throughout the night. Till Thursday morning, 27 people had turned up. If some of these patients would have been hospitalized earlier, we could have saved more lives, the doctor said.
