A TV-grab shows firefighters trying to douse flames engulfing a University of Peoples' Friendship hostel in Moscow yesterday, that left 32 mainly Asian and African students dead and hospitalised another 139, including seven Bangladeshi students. Many suffered broken limbs after jumping out of the five-storey building to escape the inferno. PHOTO: AFP
