A court jailed eight people over a fire that tore through a Hanoi apartment block in 2023, killing 56 in the country’s deadliest blaze in two decades.
The building had only a single exit and no emergency ladder on the outside. Neighbours and residents reported hearing screams as people struggled to escape the flames through barred windows.
