US-Bangla plane crash survivor Kabir on life support

US-Bangla plane crash survivor Kabir Hossain, who is undergoing treatment at the burn unit of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), has been kept on life support since early Saturday, reports UNB.

“One of the US-Bangla plane crash survivors has been kept on life support since Friday midnight,” said DMCH police outpost in-charge sub-inspector Bachchu Miah.

“Kabir Hossain’s condition is very critical and he needs life support,” DMCH burn and surgery unit coordinator Samanta Lal Sen said.

Earlier on Monday, Kabir was brought back to the country from Nepal and admitted to the DMCH.

On 12 March, at least 49 people, including 26 Bangladeshis, died as an aircraft of US-Bangla Airlines from Dhaka to Kathmandu crashed at Tribhuvan International Airport in the capital of Nepal.

Among the survivors - Mehedi Hasan, Saiyada Kamrunnahar Swarna, Almun Nahar Annie and Sheikh Rashed Rubayet and Shahreen Ahmed-were undergoing treatment at the DMCH.
