Barmer, Jul 11: In a shocking case which highlights the lack of civic sense and sympathy, three people grievously injured in an accident succumbed at the spot as onlookers were busy clicking selfies.

The incident was reported from Barmer district after pictures of onlookers clicking selfies with the accident victims in the background went viral.

Three youths were reportedly riding a bike when they rammed into a school bus in Chohtan area here. While two of the victims died on the spot, the third youth was lying in a pool of blood, screaming for help.

However, eyewitnesses present resorted to filming the incident and clicking pictures, rather than helping the injured youth.

Unable to get timely treatment, the third youth ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

Beijing, Feb 6: The number of confirmed fatalities from China's coronavirus outbreak rose to at least 560, after authorities in hardest-hit Hubei province reported 70 new deaths on February 6.

In its daily update, the health commission in Hubei also confirmed the number of confirmed infections in the outbreak has reached 28,018 nationwide with 3,694 new cases reported.

The epidemic, which has spiralled into a global health emergency, is believed to have emerged in December from a market that sold wild game in Hubei's capital Wuhan.

Hu Lishan, an official in Wuhan, warned Wednesday that despite building a hospital from scratch and converting public buildings to accommodate thousands of extra patients, there was still a "severe" lack of beds in the region.

There was also a shortage of "equipment and materials," he told reporters, adding that officials were looking to convert other hotels and schools in the city into treatment centres.

Authorities in several other cities in China have placed restrictions on the number of people allowed to leave their homes.

Global concerns have also risen about the virus, with cases confirmed in more than 20 countries.
