The Karonga main hospital in Malawi is up on fire. Firefighters and people are trying to put out the fire that erupted in a kitchen in the hospital. The incident will highly affect victims of the recent Karonga earthquakes as this is where they are being treated.
There are no news of any casualties yet and the extent of the fire. A report monitored on private radio Zodiak Broadcasting Corporation shows the cause of the fire is still not known.

Karonga has been hit by a series of earthquakes leading to more than 230 people being hospitalised.
