Bangladesh Building Collapse

Bangladesh Building Collapse


A building with housing factories that made low priced garments collapsed on the border of Dhaka, in Bangladesh.


More than 300 people have been confirmed dead, with many more missing.

The day before the collapse, the police had ordered the building to be closed and evacuated.
But the factories ignored the order, and forced over 3000 people to work, many young woman.

The building was 8 stories high. It was built illegally without the right building permits.

Around 2350 people have been rescued, the majority of them injured.

This links in with our 'Humanity' topic. As these people have different 'human rights'.
Do you think it is fair that these people were forced to work under such terrible conditions?

Then to have the building collapse on top of them?

How would you feel if you were someone trapped in this building?

Do you think it's fair?
