At least 31 dead in Baghdad market attack
Video footage from the scene showed chaos in the aftermath. People ran toward the scene of the blast to find and tend to casualties. “Children are dead!” a man could be heard shouting.
The explosion occurred in Sadr City, a sprawling majority-Shiite suburb with dilapidated public services and scant access to electricity. Earlier in the day, the director of the area’s main hospital had written on his Facebook page that the facility was struggling to cope in the face of surging coronavirus cases. Iraq’s Health Ministry said Monday night that it stood ready to provide additional support to treat the wounded. Health officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media, said 60 people were being treated for their wounds.
