A fire overnight at a hospital in southern Saudi Arabia has killed at least 25 people and injured more than 100 others.
The Civil Defence Agency tweeted the blaze broke out in the intensive care and maternity departments of the Jazan General Hospital,
The fire is now over and those injured have been transferred to other hospitals in the area, it added.
An investigation is under way to find out the cause of the blaze, the BBC reports.
One witness told Saudi television an electrical fault appeared to be to blame, and that the fire had swept through the building in minutes.
"We could hear the women screaming," the man said.
The blaze badly damaged the interior, charring walls and leaving wreckage dangling from the ceiling, according to the BBC.
