Medical expert team set up to treat stampede victims, families

The city has set up an 8-member expert team, involving another 40 backup members, to offer psychological consultation to the injured and the victim families in the deadly stampede.

Paramedics of city’s top level hospitals and volunteers will jointly take on the issue, health authorities said today.

While the two hotlines set up for victim families' inquiries have received 224 calls by 10pm last night, nearly 24 hours after the deadly stampede happened on the city's landmark Bund area.

A total of 96 people who have families or relatives victimized in the tragedy have been treated yesterday to deal with body recognition, funeral services and other aftermath issues, the city government information office said today.

The city government has opened two hotlines — 3376 1004 and 3376 6757 — for families of the injured and deceased and people who still don’t know what had happened to their relatives.
