💔 Please donate to help Assyrians who survived this couple’s wedding fire in N Iraq. Iraqi authorities are largely unable to meet the moment and help those with severe burn wounds and other injuries—children included. How to help? Donate @assyrianaid, @ShlamaF & @NinevehRising

We are still losing people everyday. Two days ago, we lost Dalin, pictured on the right. Today, we painfully say goodbye to her sister, Davin, pictured on the left. Davin was an inspiring violin player, and both had promising lives ahead of them. May they rest in peace. 💔

#Baghdeda Tragedy: We are thankful for the mobile clinic team, who are working tirelessly to attend to the needs of our people in Baghdeda.

This young child lost their whole family in the fire 😢🙏🏼

It's disheartening to witness such a tragic incident in Iraq. It highlights systemic corruption and the disregard for safety measures in public spaces. Like we never learnt from Karada explosion or Mosul boat tragedies. Calls for accountability will receive deaf ears as usual.

@AssyrianPolicy @ShlamaF You can also donate to the Assyrian Aid Society of America at: assyrianaid.org/BaghdedaWeddin…

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Bakhdida during this tragic time. Donate below @ShlamaF or @assyrianaid.

Our team is devastated by reports that a fire has claimed the lives of more than 100 people in Bakhdida (Qaraqosh), northern Iraq. To contribute to relief efforts via @ShlamaF: gofund.me/2f31070f

Today, a devastating fire erupted during a wedding party in Nineveh Province's Alhamdabya district in Iraq, resulting in over 150 deaths and hundreds of injuries. This heartbreaking incident sheds light on Iraq's alarming lack of safety measures. Notably, there are no fire extinguishers in public places or wedding halls across the country. This tragedy underscores the failure of Iraqi governments over the past two decades in everything except corruption. It's a stark call for immediate safety reforms and responsible governance. #Support_Thevictims_Alhamdanya_fire

“The impact of U.S. policies in Artsakh are disastrous for Armenians” Our friends at U.S.-based @AssyrianPolicy have released this statement in support of Armenians currently under siege in #Artsakh. Thank you @AssyrianPolicy.

Thank you for your solidarity with the Armenian people 🙏

“The US didn't simply turn a blind eye to Azerbaijan’s attempts to impose its will on Artsakh through starvation & force—it emboldened & legitimized Azerbaijan's coercive diplomacy by refusing to hold it accountable." @geviskajyan & @algalitsky in @TIME. time.com/6316001/us-fai…

Honoring and remembering those we have lost to genocide and other mass atrocities today and always. Proud to use my capacity as an elected official to bring awareness to issues impacting the Assyrian community.
