An injury treatment site for survivors of the Liushenyu coal mine explosion has been established at a local hospital in Qinyuan county, Changzhi city, North China's Shanxi province.

Reporters visiting the site on Sunday learned that the hospital is currently treating 43 patients with minor injuries, while psychological counseling services are also being offered to those affected.

The gas explosion at the mine, which occurred on Friday, resulted in the deaths of at least 82 people. Zhang Taosuo, 47, and his colleagues were working about 400 meters away from the mine entrance when the explosion occurred. The explosion left him with a head injury, while he also suffered toxic gas inhalation. Zhang was transferred to hospital for treatment shortly after the accident, where his injuries have since been confirmed as minor in nature.
