Closing in on the ninth anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster — the incident happened on 24 April 2013 when an eight-story commercial building called Rana Plaza collapsed in Savar killing around 1,134 people besides injuring 2,500 — over half the victims who survived with injuries report their physical condition as “worsening.”
Media reports maintained this adding, the number of those who complained of worsening health situation has quadrupled from just 14 per cent, reported one year ago.
Reports further added as per ActionAid Bangladesh, which has been conducting surveys periodically from previous surveys showed that the physical health status of the survivors was slowly improving over the years, but coronavirus pandemic has reversed the progress even if amongst the 56.5 per cent who reported their physical condition as worsening in the latest survey, waist pain, headache, pain in the hand, leg and back pain were some of the major problems.
