Indonesia Nursing Home Fire Claims 16 Lives

A tragic fire at a nursing home on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi has resulted in the deaths of sixteen people and injuries to three. Authorities report that many of the victims were found in their rooms, suggesting they may not have been able to react in time. Deadly fires are unfortunately common in Indonesia due to the vast archipelago and building conditions. Earlier this month, a fire in a Jakarta apartment building left 22 people dead, and in 2023, an explosion at a nickel processing plant claimed at least 12 lives.
