    Answer:A disaster

    Explanation:A disaster occur when there is a rapid and sudden disruptive environmental condition such as earthquake, tornados, volcanoes.

    This has a major impact on the normal functioning of the society which affect people, structures or properties and cause economic and environmental losses beyond the recovery ability of the community.

    50 patients or victims is not a normal or usual number that a hospital will receive normally at the same time but because this is a disaster it presents a situation that is even beyond the hospital to handle; a situation beyond available medical resources.
