A fire at a hospital in northern India has left 10 newborns dead and more than 10 others with burns and other injuries.

The fire broke out at a university hospital in the state of Uttar Pradesh on Friday.

Local media reports say the fire tore through the neonatal intensive care unit.

Footage from the hospital shows what appears to be a grieving mother collapsing.

Another woman was heard telling people that she could not find her child.

Local authorities suspect problems with the hospital's electrical system was to blame. They are investigating whether there were any problems with the hospital's safety management arrangements.

Other major fires have occurred at hospitals in India in recent years. In May, seven babies died when a fire broke out at a hospital in New Delhi.
