In the morning of April 24th 2013, the nine-storied Rana Plaza factory building collapsed. The collapsed building was housing up to eight garment factories. According to estimates, 3,122 garment workers, mostly women, were inside the building at the time of the collapse but numbers may have been much higher in reality. A three-week long rescue operation found 1,129 dead bodies and thousands of workers missing. Officially, 2,437 workers were rescued. Among them, 600 have been severely injured in this tragedy and were admitted to surrounding hospitals.
