It was told at the mortuary of Connaught Hospital that 92 bodies had been brought till Saturday morning.

According to staff, about 30 victims of severe burns were not expected to survive.

The victims included people who came to collect the fuel leaking from the broken vehicle, said the mayor of the port city, Yvonne Aki-Sawyer.

“We have found a lot of casualties, burnt bodies,” Brima Bureh Sese, head of the National Disaster Management Agency, said in a video of the scene shared online.

“It’s a terrible, terrible accident.”

Images shared widely online showed several badly burned victims lying on the streets as nearby shops and homes caught fire.
