Hundreds of patients evacuated from Los Angeles hospital building that lost power in storm’s wake

The power failure blacked out Adventist Health White Memorial’s main six-story building, disabling elevators.

LOS ANGELES: A succession of power outages at a Los Angeles hospital prompted the evacuation of 28 patients in critical condition to other hospitals early Tuesday, while 213 other patients were moved to another building in the medical center, authorities said.

The power failure blacked out Adventist Health White Memorial’s main six-story building, disabling elevators, said Fire Chief Kristin M. Crowley. More than 100 firefighters and numerous ambulances were dispatched to the facility east of downtown.

The building includes OB-GYN and neonatal intensive care, Crowley said.

“All patients are safe,” John Raffoul, the hospital president, told a press conference.

The hospital originally lost power at 3 a.m. Monday after Tropical Storm Hilary dumped record rainfall on the city, and backup generators that were supposed to last three days kicked in, Raffoul said.

But a blackout was reported at 11:45 p.m. Monday and firefighters were dispatched to evacuate patients, assisting them down flights of stairs in many cases, the Fire Department said.

“We don’t know the cause of the double failure that we had here ... other than the fact that we had a major storm that hit us here in Southern California,” Raffoul said.

Raffoul said a new generator was on order.

NEW DELHI: The minor girl was allegedly raped at least four times by the now-suspended senior Delhi government official and her private parts were swollen, according to the FIR accessed by this newspaper.

The FIR was registered by Delhi Police on August 13 against 51-year-old Premoday Khakha and his wife Seema Rani, who are currently in judicial custody. Khakha was a deputy director in the Women and Child department of the Delhi government.

According to the FIR, the girl, who was 14 years old in 2020, had gone to stay with close family friend Khakha after the death of her father.

“From November 2020 to January 2021, Premoday uncle raped me 4-5 times. He used to touch my private parts, which I hated,” the FIR read.

The girl said when Khakha allegedly raped her for the first time, her private parts were swollen. “I informed Seema Aunty about it, but she accused me of doing something not right or making gestures towards her husband,” her complaint read.

The minor girl stated in her complaint that Seema used to punish her with sticks whenever she failed to score good marks in her subjects. “After he raped me the last time in January 2021, I became pregnant. I told Seema Aunty about it when I missed my periods. She replied that it is the first month so we can abort the child,” the FIR read.

According to the FIR, the girl had also informed Khakha’s children — a son and a daughter — but they, too, refused to believe her.

In February, the girl went back to her home along with her mother. “Whenever I visited the church, he (the accused) used to touch me inappropriately. After July 2021, I left going to the church,” the FIR read.
