The fire was the country’s deadliest since an October 2002 blaze that killed 60 people.
The apartment block that caught fire in Vietnam on Tuesday reportedly had a wall with no windows and another with only tiny ventilation slots.
Neighbours and residents of the block said they heard screaming as people struggled to escape through barred windows. “Violations must be seriously punished,” the ministry of public security said in an online statement.State media said today that an initial investigation found that the 10-storey block had breached its construction licence, given in 2015, to build six storeys.
According to official figures, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are the two locations with the nation’s highest population density, with 2,398 and 4,363 people per square kilometre respectively.
