		</div><p>A massive fire has swept through a four-star hotel in Karachi where members of Pakistan&#8217;s cricket team were staying, killing at least 11 people.</p>
<p>More than 50 people, including foreign guests, suffered injuries in the early morning blaze, which started in the hotel kitchen, police officer Tauqeer Naeem said.</p>
<p>Several Pakistani cricketers were also staying at the hotel, and one of them broke his ankle when he jumped down, he said.</p>
<p>The exact cause of the fire was not yet known, he said, adding four of those killed were women.</p>
<p>Dr Semi Jamali at Karachi&#8217;s Jinnah Hospital said some foreigners were among those being treated for burns. Suffocation caused more deaths, she said.</p>
<p>TV footage of the incident showed guests at the hotel using bedsheets to climb down from windows.</p>
<p>A man standing at a balcony kept waving for help but the hotel did not have any means to reach him, survivor Hamid Ali said.</p>
<p>He said the guests were sleeping when the fire broke out.</p>
<p>&#8220;Four to five hours, everybody was looking helpless, crying for help and nobody was there,&#8221; said Muhammad Saeed, who was being treated at the hospital.</p>
<p>Most of Pakistan&#8217;s buildings do not meet safety standards to avoid such disasters.</p>
