WAN, — More Kurdish children are killed by the fire and more people die because of the harsh condition. Over six hundred people have been killed so far.
Fires of the ill-devised stove have proven deadly for the Kurdish children. Once again fire erupted in a tent in Seyrantepe Neighbourhood. Similar to earlier tent fires in the earthquake-shattered area, the fire was reportedly caused by a heating stove in the tent of Doru family.
In this occasion a three-month old Mehmet Doru lost his life while his mother Asli Doru and four sisters Sabiha (5), Neslihan (4), Umut (4) and Gulcan Doru (3) received serious burns. All six members of the family were taken to Wan Regional Training and Research Hospital for treatment.
Following two major earthquakes in October and November which killed at least 672 people and injured over six thousand, Wan city and earthquake victims have been abandoned to their fate. More than 400 thousand people have migrated from the city in the recent months.
