Groom and Relatives Mourn Victims of Iraq Wedding Hall Fire | VOA News

Mourners gathered in Hadinya, Iraq, on Wednesday to bury the victims of Tuesday’s wedding hall fire. Authorities said around 100 people died in the incident, and the death toll is expected to rise further with at least 100 others still injured, many of them critically burned. Iraq's prime minister on Thursday visited injured patients and the families of victims in northern Iraq days after a deadly wedding fire killed around 100 people, as two more people died from their injuries and additional remains were recovered. Mohammed Shia al-Sudani arrived in Nineveh province early Thursday with a delegation of ministers and security officials, state television reported. He met with the wounded and family members of victims at Hamdaniyah Hospital and Al-Jumhoori Hospital. He later visited the Syriac Catholic Mar Behnam Monastery to express his condolences to victims. Around 250 panicked guests surged for the exits on Tuesday night in the Haitham Royal Wedding Hall in the predominantly Christian area of Hamdaniya near Mosul after the ceiling panels above a pyrotechnic machine burst into flames. #Iraq #Fire #reels #videography #voanews https://www.voanews.com/a/iraqi-pm-vi... » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video:    / voanews   Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
