More than 70 people have died and over 50 others were injured after a fire in Johannesburg, South Africa. The five-story building located in the city center has been described as "hijacked," meaning it is occupied by squatters, and authorities say the cause of the fire remains unclear.
Emergency services stated that the fire engulfed the building early Thursday morning. Authorities said firefighters evacuated the occupants of the building upon arrival, and the search for bodies is ongoing. Reports indicate that most of the occupants were African migrants.
