I guess you could call it triage if you wanted to forgive them. However, it is against the law. Hopefully those doctors will face a jury.

They won't. No one will ever know their names.

This is accepted practice in extreme situations. Those who can benefit from care, get it. Those who can't are made as comfortable as possible.

And the relatives of the patients will never tell...

I know that's common on the battlefield and at natural disaster sites. Doctors and medics have to make life and death decisions and it's common accepted practice.

However, this wasn't a battlefield and even though it was a natural disaster the decisions made, according to this report, could have been prevented with some planning.
