Bangladesh factory collapse: Baby is born in the rubble four days after hundreds of workers are trapped
Rescuer Didar Hossain said the woman and her newborn baby boy were found under a pile of concrete pillars
Collapse: Factory debrisA baby born in the rubble of a Bangladeshi clothing factory was rescued yesterday... four days after the building collapsed on hundreds of workers.
His mother had given birth trapped in the ruins of the Dhaka factory which had been making cheap clothes for the UK, despite earlier warnings that the damaged building should be evacuated.Witnesses said his mother screamed, “Save my baby” as she was carried out of the wreckage on a stretcher.Didar Hossain said the woman, in her mid-20s, did not have serious injuries and was one of 25 people pulled alive from the complex where garments were being made for Primark and other high street budget chains Matalan and Bonmarche.As the death toll from last Wednesday’s disaster rose to 336, one trade union leader claimed at least 10 British retail firms were being supplied by similar factories in Bangladesh.It’s feared as many as 1,000 people could eventually be found in the rubble, with a final death toll of over 500. Rescuers believe a floor of the eight-storey building was used by a factory ­employing children.Last night, bereaved families clashed with police who had ordered an evacuation after cracks appeared in the walls. Repon Chowdrey, of the Bangladeshi Free Trade Union Congress, said UK firms have a duty to ensure suppliers have safe conditions.Yesterday, anti-poverty campaigners protested outside Primark’s Oxford Street store.Campaigners have urged brands sourcing from Bangladesh to sign a safety agreement to prevent tragedies. They have attacked Primark for not signing the Bangladesh Fire and Building Safety Agreement providing for the inspection of every factory used by a supplier. Primark believes an alternative safety agreement promoted by the UK-based Ethical Trading Initiative will be more effective. The company promised it would work with other retailers to review standards, and vowed to support the families of killed and injured workers.Primark refused to comment on yesterday’s protest but a spokesman said: “On the issue of compensation, we will of course honour our obligations in due course. How that will be done has to be finalised.”
