A fireplace broke out throughout a marriage in Nineveh governorate, Northern Iraq, in al-Hamdaniya’s Christian group. Inside hours, the loss of life toll had risen above 100 individuals, and over 150 have been injured. Fireplace extinguishing and rescue operations started quickly after the blaze erupted, with victims being transferred to hospitals nationwide to be handled. Authorities count on the loss of life toll to proceed rising. May this newest hearth in Iraq have been prevented? And what does it imply for a group that’s solely now coming back from years of devastation?
