There are thousands of fire accidents in Iraq, and neglect continues

Due to negligence and non-compliance with safety and security requirements, thousands of fire accidents occur in various areas without government oversight of health, commercial and tourist facilities, claiming the lives of thousands of innocent citizens.

Similar to the fire in the wedding hall in Al-Hamdaniya, which claimed the lives of more than a hundred people in a tragedy that can only be described as horrific, after that wedding turned into a mass funeral, somewhat similar to the hospital fires in Baghdad. Dhi Qar, which is no less tragic than this incident, requires those concerned to find ways to impose safety and security conditions on tourist facilities, hospitals, wedding halls, clubs and cafes, and to punish non-compliant parties in accordance with the law.

 

Tragedy is repeated annually in different places, but the causes are the same. The ferry incident in Mosul, the fire at Al-Khatib Hospital and Dhi Qar Hospital, the collapse of the National Laboratory for Pathological Analysis building, and most recently the Al-Hamdaniyah fire are all accidents that are not accidental, but rather were due to the absence of safety and security conditions, not to mention the greed of some contractors who took people’s souls as a means of collecting... Money
and the absence of oversight and non-compliance with safety conditions, thousands of lives are lost in incidents of burning, drowning and suffocation without government action to close tourist facilities, medical and commercial centers that use cheap sandwich panel material to build the roofs of buildings, exposing the lives of citizens to danger.

Hamdaniya fire.. Baghdad pledges accountability, and people blame political corruption

 

9/29/2023|Last updated: 9/29/202304:38 PM (Mecca time)

 

A number of the families of the victims of the Iraqi wedding fire considered that political corruption and lax implementation of regulations were behind the disaster that left more than 100 dead and about 150 injured, at a time when the government pledged to hold those who were negligent accountable and transferred some of the injured for treatment in Turkey.

Al-Hamdaniya residents, who are rearranging their lives in their hometown, said that the "defeated extremists" failed to kill them, but corruption succeeded in doing so.

“ ISIS did not kill us, but this disaster killed us,” Pastor Boutros Shittu commented, speaking in a local church hall as mourners buried the bodies of their loved ones.

Chito lost his parents, two sisters, and two nephews in the fire that engulfed a crowded wedding hall in Al-Hamdaniya, also known as Qaraqosh.

"In this country, we always wait for a disaster to happen and then deal with the results," Shito said. He added, "Our house is now empty because of greed and corruption."

Arrests and commitments

Government officials announced the arrest of 14 people in connection with Tuesday's fire, including the owners of the event hall, and promised to conduct a rapid investigation and announce the results within 72 hours.

Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani visited the fire victims in two local hospitals yesterday, Thursday.

He said that he directed "the maximum legal penalties to be imposed against the negligent and negligent people who caused the painful fire incident."

Witnesses said that the fire started an hour after the wedding began, when fireworks caused the decorations hanging on the ceiling to ignite.

They stated that the hall did not have any visible fire extinguishers and had few emergency exits, and that firefighters arrived there after half an hour.

The fire is the latest in a series of tragic incidents that have claimed the lives of hundreds of people across Iraq in the past few years, including a fire in a Baghdad hospital in 2021 and the sinking of a river ferry in Mosul in 2019.

All incidents are blamed on negligence, corruption and lax enforcement of regulations.

Lack of safety measures

Government officials say that the fire occurred due to a lack of safety and security measures and the use of highly flammable materials in the building.

In a sermon that included wailing women dressed in black, a priest at Al-Tahira Church in Al-Hamdaniya told mourners that Iraq was interconnected in its grief, but criticized officials for “your corruption and nepotism.”

"There is nothing that matches the specifications" in this country, he added.

In this context, the Iraqi authorities announced the transfer of 4 people injured as a result of the fire in a wedding hall in Nineveh Governorate to Turkey for treatment.

A statement issued by the media office of the Iraqi Prime Minister said, "Based on the instructions of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, 4 people injured in the tragic fire in the Al-Hamdaniya area were transferred to Turkey for treatment along with their companions."

The statement indicated that the injured are accompanied by a medical team of 10 people, consisting of two doctors, nurses and first aid specialists.

Judicial expert: Death sentence and 15 years imprisonment await those responsible for the “Hamdaniya” incident

Yesterday, 17:19

 

 

Al-Ghad Press/Special
Judicial expert, Ali Al-Tamimi, confirmed today, Friday, that penalties of up to the death penalty and 15 years’ imprisonment are imposed on those responsible for the wedding hall fire incident in the Hamdaniya district, while describing the incident as “genocide.”
Al-Tamimi said in an interview with Al-Ghad Press, “The legal definition of the incident of burning the wedding hall in the Al-Hamdaniya district, which applies to the accused, is Article 342 of the Iraqi Penal Code No. 111 of 1969, which punishes the burning of movable and immovable property and whoever causes their burning with 15 imprisonment.” Years ago, this article led to an increase in punishment and the issuance of the death sentence in the event of the death of a group of people or a specific person.

He added, "The higher administrative authorities are also responsible for the incident, which is considered genocide. They are the governor of the governorate and the governor of Nineveh, and they are responsible for the existence of Law No. 154 of 2001, which punishes with 3 years imprisonment anyone who trespasses on public property and builds buildings outside urban planning by giving approvals and granting permission." Construction and investment permits.
He continued, "It is possible that the Prime Minister will open an investigation and withdraw the hand of the governor and the District Attorney for two months in accordance with the State Employees Discipline Law No. 14 due to the lack of completion of investigations, and then refer them to the competent courts."
He pointed out that "the families of the victims claiming personal arson have the right to demand compensation in the court of first instance from those who caused the incident or from the governor or district attorney," noting that "these lawsuits will be filed later when the investigations are completed and measures are taken by the investigative court."
It is noteworthy that the Civil Defense Directorate announced yesterday that it had monitored 7,000 projects violating safety requirements, including event halls, hotels and restaurants, noting that there is a legal clause through which owners of violating projects are referred to the misdemeanor court if they do not comply with addressing the violations.

Al-Hamdaniya groom speaks.. This is what happened on the day of the “wedding tragedy”

• Time: 10/01/2023 15:07:52

{Local: Al-Furat News} We cannot continue to live in our society,” said the bride and groom, who experienced a disaster that shook Iraq during their wedding a few days ago.

In a press interview, Revan (27 years old) and the bride, Hanin (18 years old), said that they felt “dead inside” despite their survival from the fire that broke out inside a crowded wedding hall in Nineveh Governorate, northern Iraq.

 

Revan said that he lost 15 members of his family in the fire, adding that his bride “cannot speak” after she lost 10 of her relatives, including her mother and brother, while her father is also in critical condition.

 

While initial reports indicated that fireworks that were lit during the couple's slow dance were the cause of the fire, Revan believes that the fire somehow started in the ceiling.

 

What Revan said:

It may have been an electrical short, I don't know, but the fire started in the ceiling. We felt the heat, and when I heard a cracking sound, I looked at the ceiling. Then the ceiling, which was entirely made of nylon, began to melt. It only took seconds. While dancing, the electricity went out, and when the electricity came back on, "he saw a fire." At the ceiling then people started “screaming” and “running away.”

 

Video footage shared shortly after the tragedy showed the couple dancing as pieces of burning material fell from the ceiling.

 

The disaster means they can no longer stay in their hometown, according to Revan: "That's it, we can't live here anymore."

 

He added, "I mean, every time we try to get some happiness, something tragic happens to us and destroys the happiness. So, it's better for us to leave."

 

He said sadly: "It is true that we are sitting here in front of you, alive. But inside we are dead. We are numb. We are dead inside."

 

Revan went on to describe his mission to help his wife, who could not walk because of her wedding dress.

 

Revan said: “I grabbed my wife and started dragging her. I kept dragging her and trying to get her out of the kitchen entrance.

 

While people were running away, people were tripping over her and bumping into her legs. Her legs were injured.”

 

Fire extinguisher not working

 

Revan said that there was only one fire extinguisher in the hall, which “was not working.”

Describing how events unfolded, he said that two small fireworks were lit when they started dancing, followed by four more fireworks a few minutes later.

 

He said his father asked questions about the dangers of such fireworks causing sparks that could "land on the bride's dress" and "set it on fire," but the hall owners told them the fireworks were electric, so "you can put your hand in." Or even plastic [on it] and it won't burn."

 

Investigation results

 

For its part, the Ministry of Interior announced in a press conference on Sunday the results of investigations into the Hamdaniya fire, noting that the number of victims of the fire reached 107 dead, in addition to 82 wounded.

 

The ministry said, "The concert hall in Al-Hamdaniya was covered with highly flammable materials," adding that "the main cause of the fire was the launching of fireworks inside the concert hall."

 

The Interior Ministry referred the mayor of Al-Hamdaniya and other officials to eliminate the background of the incident.

 

A fire broke out in a wedding hall in the town of Al-Hamdaniya in Nineveh Governorate, in northern Iraq, during a wedding last Tuesday, according to what the authorities announced.
