They went out to get medicine for our sick parents,” said a bereaved middle-aged woman named Jorina, sitting in front of the morgue of Dhaka Medical College and Hospital. Jorina lost her brothers and her nephew in the Chawkbazar fire. How will my parents get their medicine now?” she said, as she wailed. Jorina’s brothers Mohammad Ali and Apu Raihan along with her four-year-old nephew went out together. Jorina, who lives at Chawkbazar, said that her brothers were on their way home, with medicine for their parents, after closing the shop.
