17 people in critical care 1 week after Manchester bombing

As of Tuesday morning, 50 patients are reportedly still being treated for injuries after the suicide bombing in Manchester, U.K., last week. Seventeen of those patients remain in critical care, according to a statement from the National Health Service cited by The Economic Times.

Officials at the health authority did not provide additional details regarding those injured in the incident, according to The Economic Times.

Physicians and hospital officials treating patients injured in the attack previously said some patients had suffered "life-changing injuries to major organs and … limbs," according to the report.

Officials estimate hospitals in the surrounding area have treated at least 116 individuals injured after Salman Abedi, 22, detonated a bomb that killed 22 people following an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena May 22, according to the Manchester Evening News.
