At least 18 people have been injured, including three in critical condition, authorities say, and there are fears that there may be others who have not yet been counted.
The fire in Badalone, a city of 200 thousand people north of the Spanish city, erupted in the early hours of this morning, writes The Guardian, following Periscope.
Sixty people have been counted so far, but officials and people living in the building said more than 100 were there.
Thierno, who came from Senegal and lived in that building for more than two and a half years, feared that the death toll would increase. The fire spread quickly, the room behind the room, floor after floor,” he said. We had five minutes to get out. I'm sure there's a lot of people still inside. ”
In the past eight years, the building has been home to dozens of people, mostly from African countries. /Periscope
