Anger at Iraq Mass for Victims of Wedding Fire, Killed More than 100 People
Funerals take place for victims of wedding fire that killed more than 100 people in Iraq’s Nineveh province
Funerals were held on Sunday for the victims of a huge fire at a wedding in northern Iraq, which killed more than 100 people, including the newly married couple, according to local officials.
The blaze broke out on Saturday evening at a wedding hall in the town of Zinjirli, in Nineveh province. Officials said the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit, and that it had quickly spread through the hall, which was packed with guests.
More than 100 people were killed in the fire, including the newly married couple, and dozens more were injured. Many of the victims were women and children.
The funerals on Sunday were attended by hundreds of mourners, including the newly married couple’s families and friends. The mourners wept and hugged each other as they paid their respects to the dead.
The fire at the wedding hall is one of the deadliest tragedies in Iraq in recent years. It comes as the country is still struggling to recover from the war against the Islamic State group, which ended in 2017.
The Iraqi government has promised to investigate the cause of the fire and to hold those responsible accountable. The government has also announced that it will provide financial assistance to the families of the victims.
The fire at the wedding hall is a stark reminder of the dangers that still exist in Iraq, even after the end of the war against the Islamic State group. The country’s infrastructure is still in shambles, and many people live in poverty.
The Iraqi government needs to do more to improve the country’s safety and security, and to provide its citizens with the basic necessities of life.
