Vietnamese state media reported that dozens died after a fire broke out in an apartment block in Hanoi. 

The fire reportedly broke out in the parking of a 10-story building shortly before midnight on Tuesday night and was put out by Wednesday morning.

"Authorities have rescued about 70 people, rushing to hospital 54 people, including dozens of dead," the official Vietnam News Agency reported, emphasizing that the fire was severe.

"We could not help them much," a woman, who lives near the block, told AFP at the site.
