21 including 7 Children Burnt Alive in Massive Fire Accident in Gaza

Seven children were among the 21 Palestinians charred to death in a major fire accident at a residential building in the northern Gaza Strip. More than 30 others were injured in this fire accident.
The death toll is expected to rise as some of the injured were in extreme critical condition. Fire broke out in the area of Tal-Za’tar in the Jabalia refugee camp on Thursday.
The Palestinian Civil Defense sent rescue teams and a number of security personnel to the spot of the fire accident. It took hours to control the fire.
Initial investigation hints that a large quantity of fuel stored inside the building may have been the cause of the fire.
According to sources, this residential building is owned by the Abu Rayah family, which was celebrating a family member’s return from Egypt when the fire broke out.
