Iraq wedding fire kills more than 100 people: ‘Indescribable tragedy’
Description
September 27, 2023
A fire ripped through a packed wedding hall in northern Iraq late on Tuesday, killing more than 100 people, with the bride and groom believed to be part of the victims. The fire appeared to have started when fireworks were set off inside the venue and highly-flammable panels were engulfed in flames. "There were a lot of victims, charred bodies. It’s an indescribable tragedy," Fardous, a nun who saw the fire, said. One hundred and fifty people were also injured in the blaze.
