A fire that broke out in India's capital city Delhi has killed at least 21 people. Among the victims of this tragedy were citizens of foreign countries, many of whom were from South Asia.

A large proportion of the deceased had come to India for medical purposes — either for their own treatment or to accompany sick family members. Delhi is a well-known destination for medical tourists from across the South Asia region, where people come to receive high-quality medical care.

The exact location of the fire and its causes are under investigation. In India, building fires are relatively common events, often associated with inadequate fire safety standards and densely populated urban areas. Delhi authorities have launched an investigation into the incident.
