Officials in Iraq are trying to recognize more than twelve corpses restored after the murder in the shopping center, since the investigations continue to determine the causes of the fire.
The Iraqi official, who said, provided that he should not be named, said that the final report on the dead to the firefighters on Wednesday was 63 years old, including 18 bodies that could not be recognized from the seriousness of the burns and the DNA test would be held.
Corniche Hypermarket Center, Visit Province, a five -function building, which includes restaurants, shops and supermarkets, opened just a few days before the fire, which, according to officials, broke out on the second floor in aroma and cosmetics.
Civil protection seminars were saved by 45 people from a burning building. Officials said most of the dead were covered on the upper floors.
Although the causes of the fire have not yet been determined, officials spoke about the absence of security standards in the building.
The governor of the province of Muhammad Al Gomiha said that the owner of the building did not take fire safety measures and did not receive the required licenses.
The Provincial Council of WAST on Thursday voted to create committees for the safety inspections of buildings and suspend the municipality of the Kut municipality and professional safety until the fire investigation is completed.
Al Gomiha said that complaints were filed against the owner of the building and the owner of the shopping center. The commander said to the press conference that the son of the owner of the center and other members of his family were among the victims.
The lack of construction standards often contributed to tragic fires in Iraq.
In July 2021, as discovered, a fire in a hospital in Nasiria, which died 92 people, was discovered an extremely flammable type of “sandwich panel” in Iraq.
In 2023, more than 100 people died in a fire in a wedding hall in Hamdania, in Nineveh, when the panels on the roof above the pyrotechnic machine were wrapped in fire.
