The fire also injured 70, 17 of them in critical condition, the Shanghai government said this morning.
The 28-floor building at the intersection of Jiaozhou Road and Yuyao Road was undergoing a face-lift and was surrounded by scaffoldings which caused the fire to spread swiftly.
The injured people are receiving treatment at nine Shanghai hospitals, including the renowned Ruijin Hospital, Huashan Hospital and Changzheng Hospital.
