Numerous people suffered strokes on Saturday while participating in Halloween festivities in Seoul, according to the South Korean Civil Defense (panic feast).
140 ambulances had been dispatched to provide care for the victims, according to a spokesman for the firefighting administration.
According to Yonhap, about 50 people have heart attacks in the Atwan neighbourhood of Seoul, where thousands of people were celebrating Halloween.
About 60 people were killed on Saturday and about 150 were injured in a stampede in the central Seoul, where thousands gathered in narrow streets to celebrate Halloween, according to officials.
Around the site at daybreak local time, South Korean Civil Defense officer Choi Song Boom informed reporters that “59 people were murdered and 150 others were injured until 01:30.”
In the area, where Halloween activities are popular, the victims were subjected to a rush among enormous crowds.
According to his office, South Korean President Yun Suk Yol instructed hospitals to get ready to receive the injured.
Pictures released by Yonhap showed more than ten people extending in a street, helping them to rescue elements, while the police set up a security cordon.
100,000 celebrities were reportedly present to celebrate the first Halloween event without outdoor camps since the pandemic.
Early-evening posts on social media reveal that some individuals observed how packed the Entan area was and experienced a sense of “insecurity.”
According to the media, many medical workers and ambulances were transporting the bodies one by one.
Images and videos depict a variety of first responders and bystanders who appear to be mindful of the roadways.
Many respondents in one of the films appear to be doing cardiac resuscitations on locals walking down a winding route.
In another case, emergency respondents try to get people out of what appears to be a pile of people’s bodies after the crowds rush.
Another local journalist reported that there has been “an emergency mishap at the Hamilton Hotel in Entan,” and that a broadcast has been sent to every mobile phone in the Youngsan area advising residents to head back to their houses as quickly as possible.
In South Korea, almost 200 people were murdered and injured.
