The fire originated from the kitchen within a labour camp in the wee hours of Wednesday. According to sources, the fire quickly spread to all the rooms in the apartment due to the presence of glass windows. A few individuals, who leaped out of the apartment upon noticing the blaze, were killed. Several others who were injured have been admitted to Adan, Jaber and Mubarak hospitals.
