Dhaka collapse: Primark to pay victims compensation

[dipsydoodle]

Primark says it will pay compensation and offer emergency food aid and to victims of the Bangladesh factory collapse who worked for its supplier.

The clothing store chain said its team in Bangladesh had been "working to put in place immediate and long-term help for victims of this disaster".

It said would provide for children who had lost parents.

A factory complex collapsed last Wednesday on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka, killing some 350 people.

Primark said it would review the support to ensure it kept up with need.

The company occupied a floor of the collapsed building and the workers there were suppliers to the brand.
