Death toll in massive explosions in a warehouse in China’s major port city of Tianjin continued to rise nearly three weeks after the country’s worst industrial disaster and mounted to 150 today even as 23 people still remained missing.
The dead include 92 firefighters, 10 policemen and 48 others, officials said.
Those missing include 12 firefighters, one policeman and 10 others. A total of 367 people remain in hospital, including 20 in critical or serious condition, they added.
More than 300 primary and middle schools in the Binhai New Area, where the port is located, will open the new semester on Monday as scheduled schools damaged in the explosions have been fully repaired.
