ஷார்ஜாவில் 25 மாடி குடியிருப்பில் தீ-125 குடும்பங்கள் தப்பின-ஆனால் உடமைகள் நாசம்!
125 families homeless in Sharjah tower fire
(Afkar Abdullah)
26 January 2012 SHARJAH — Over 125 families living on 25 floors of Al Bakr Tower 4 located opposite Al Taawun Mall in Sharjah watched in despair their flats go up in flames in the wee hours of Wednesday, destroying their belongings and for some, earnings of their entire lives.
Suddenly rendered homeless, they wondered how they would stitch together their lives from the scratch again.
“I have lost everything I have in the UAE and Dh75,000 of a business partner who had sent to me to buy him goods last night,” said Ifeanyi Dove, Nigerian resident of flat No. 805 and owner of a readymade garment shop in Dubai called Hamam Al Madina Trading LLC. Dove woke up around 5.30am hearing the loud noise of rescuers. He woke his two children and wife up and they all headed down through the staircase. Godbless, Filipino resident of flat No. 1605, said he was woken up by his panicky wife who said the building was on fire. “The only thing that saved us was the fact that the staircase was safe,” he said. “I am still in shock with the loss of all my documents — from passports to driving licences and school certificates. I don’t know how am I going to recover all of them!” The blaze, which started on the first residential floor of the building and spread to the upper floors, also reduced a numbers of cars to twisted pieces of metal. The residential tower is one of four similar ones owned by a Qatari business group in the area. ஷார்ஜா: ஷார்ஜா அல் தவுன் ஏரியாவில் உள்ள 25 மாடி குடியிருப்பில் இன்று அதிகாலை 2.15 மணிக்கு திடீர் என்று தீப்பிடித்தது. இதனால் அங்கு தங்கியிருந்த 125 குடும்பங்கள் வீடுகள், சொத்துக்களை இழந்து தவிக்கின்றன. அதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக அந்த குடும்பங்கள் உயிர் தப்பியுள்ளன.
