Hello,
I know that Iraqi family whose mother & 2.5 years old son were rescued. An eight years old son & father were still under the debris of Margalla Tower. Their dead bodies were recovered 2, 3 days back. They were taken out in pieces. My heart cries for them. May ALLAH rest their soul in peace, amen.

With deepest sadness I came to know that Firas and son is passed a way in this earthquake. I was shocked. I worked with Firas when he was in UNOHCI Baghdad in the IT section. We worked for 2 years. I was the Administrative Assistant of the section. I knew Firas very well, he was so quite and hard worker and very effieicent. It is a big loss. My sympathies to his wife, and his family. May his soul and his sons soul rest in peace.
