Health Minister Constantinos Ioannou on Friday offered to help the north in any way following a fire at the general hospital in occupied Nicosia that led to the death of two patients.

The fire reportedly erupted at around 6.45am in the hospital’s cardiovascular surgery department, located at the second floor.

Around 300 patients were taken to other hospitals in Nicosia.

Two male inpatients, 74 and 62, were transferred to a private hospital where they died.

The 74-year-old man was an inpatient at the hospital’s intensive care when the fire erupted.
