According to the latest information obtained after checking in various ways for the past one month, 22 thousand were found injured. 587 persons are permanently crippled or maimed.

Regarding the injured, he said, working with the injured is very difficult. Because this number is huge. We have a list of 22,000 injured people so far. But there will be addition-subtraction with it.
