Hello im christine want to welcome to news africa im glad. We begin in tanzania where the death toll in the field tanker explosion in mortal gore has risen to 75 hospital Officials Say 4 more people succumbed to their injuries the 2nd day of National Mourning song relatives identifying their loved ones at the local morgue on sunday a mass funeral was held for some of the victims. Mourners as far as the eye can see tons of the wounds are gathered in grief. The bereaved struggle to overcome the shock of this tragedy. Some still waiting for confirmation. But it was ok what i want to. He used to work as a motorcycle korea he left to go to work like normal been around a. T. M. One of my customers told me about the news of the explosion and most as a victim as well motorcycle drivers. Most of them. Comes up that because of his job i rushed to go to the hospital because even now i have no news about where my husband is whether he is still alive or dead. Relatives that is that like we are just doing. What. Disaster struck morgaro on saturday morning doesnt run to siphon petrol from a crushed fuel tanker when the combustible cargo exploded ripping through this community. But the good people were all over collecting the fuel i was there myself but i had no intention of joining them i was urged by a friend to join in collecting the fuel but i refused later i heard people screaming fire fire out of the sky. Such was the scale of the carnage many of the survivors had to be airlifted 200 kilometers away to doris salaam. Doctors say most of the victims have severe burn injuries covering 80 percent of their body us. President john mica family visited some of them in hospital and begged his citizens to stop rushing to dangerous fields battles in the future. Across africa deadly blasts like this one are all too common nevertheless many here hope this tragedy made yet sarah as a cautionary tale. Joining me now for more on the story is t. W. A. Is africas harrison and william a welcome to harrison youre from tanzania and youve been hearing a lot you know from home and just just how are people reacting to this tragedy. It was very hard to see 1st of these pictures and videos circulating in social media you know of the people we have banned. On the ground it was very very hard to see those pictures and the what some discussions in social media on why this is happening again you know so many people died within a very short time. So it was tough yes tough tough as it may be harrison i mean it begs the question its been say that the death toll was as high as it is because people literally ran from the homes they brought jerry cans to the sides to to to siphon feel it begs the question how soon is is it a sign of desperation that people would risk their lives in such a way i mean some people in our portfolios they were called to come to the scene and said no its dangerous but so many people did go is it is a desperation hires and why would so many people have gone. One can talk about dispersion because you know this is an opportunity to get free fuel so for some people seeing overturned tunk lying on the ground there its an opportunity to get free oil right but again the president of times and they also mentioned this when i was visiting the hospital that some of the people you met at the hospital were not going there to steal you or to still fuel some of them were going there to rescue people so there are some people who are desperately going to still oil some people are going there to save people. And that complicates things because some are calling for some of the survivors to be prosecuted for this what can you tell us about that debate about prosecuting so those people who are stealing the fuel and who have been injured as a result. You know because here you have some people who are still alive but they participated in stealing a for you but then again there are also some people who are who are supposed to take charge yeah yeah because what we hear from the media is that the who situation was almost lasted for almost 2 hours so there was some police in this area for departments who would have reacted fast because i mean people there there should be some ways to sions to stop people from even getting close to the truck so this other people probably were to reprosecute to doand also the Prime Minister has already established a Committee Investigating what has happened so that some people can be prosecuted on the issue ok alison thank you thank you very much.
