Baku / 06/19/18 / Turan: The human rights defender Oktay Gyulaliyev reported on his Facebook page on June 19 about more than 150 injured residents of the Imishli region of Azerbaijan, poisoned in cotton fields. Due to lack of places in the Imishli district hospital, several patients have been provided medical care in the hospital's courtyard.
"There is a shortage of doctors, and all medical workers of Imishli have been mobilized to the district's Central Hospital. About 10 of those injured are in a particularly serious condition and they have been placed in the intensive care unit," Gulaliyev said. --0--
