Egypt says it has opened an investigation into the deaths of four COVID-19 patients in an intensive care unit allegedly due to lack of oxygen, which sparked a public outcry.
“The prosecutor’s office in Al-Husseiniya (in the northern Sharqiya province) summoned the director of Al-Husseiniya hospital to question him over the deaths of four people due to lack of oxygen,” a judicial source tells AFP, without specifying the dates of the deaths.
Since yesterday, numerous social media users have shared a video of patients in a hospital ward, with a voice heard saying “everyone is dead in intensive care.”
