TETE, Mozambique: The death toll from a petrol tanker explosion in Mozambique has risen to 80, officials said on Monday.
According to the government, people were using pipes and jerry cans to collect the fuel spilt around the truck – but then it caught fire. The tanker exploded and killed 43 people on the spot – with more than 100 others badly burnt.
“For now, the total number of deaths is up to 80,” Hospital Deputy Director Veronica de Deus said and added that 35 people were still in a critical condition.
An inquiry has been launched into the cause of the blast. The truck was reported to be carrying fuel to the landlocked Malawi. The government in Mozambique – one of the world’s poorest countries – recently increased the fuel prices after the value of the local currency fell sharply.
