Families wait all night outside hospital as VIP visits delay meeting victims

New Delhi, Nov 11 (UNI) The night after the horrific explosion in Red Fort, family members of the injured waited outside the gates of the heavily guarded Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital (LNJP) to meet their loved ones, lying injured.
Mohammed Hufaiza, a 15-year-old sitting on the pavement of the heavily barricaded hospital, has not yet been able to see his uncle, Mohammad Farukh, 55 years old, one of the victims of Monday’s blast. His father, the younger brother of Farukh, was the first one in the family who rushed to the hospital around 8 pm on Monday, once he learnt the victims were being taken to the LNJP.
Little Hufaiza learnt of the incident after he returned from his tutorial classes, worried about his uncle, the owner of a refrigerator spare parts shop. “My father is inside, his phone is dead, we do not know what is happening there, we heard that my uncle’s leg is injured,” said Farukh, sitting alongside his sister and mother.
