“…The situation is really bad. Many people died, here even those who were not stealing fuel because this is a busy place.”
Government spokesman Hassan Abbasi said at least 60 people died and 70 were injured in the blast, which occurred in Morogoro, a town around 200 km (120 miles) west of the commercial capital Dar es Salaam.
