A paper factory chimney collapse trapped 11 workers, 9 of whom died. Over 100 injured, 2 more deaths under investigation, and nearly 70,000 homes without water amid soaring heat and fuel shortages. More than 9,000 displaced, many sleeping outdoors or in cars, as authorities scramble to improve shelter conditions with air conditioners and privacy partitions — while over 3,500 buildings are damaged and 180 homes destroyed.
