[size=45]Corruption and favoritism
. A massive fire broke out in Al-Haytham Wedding Hall and has so far claimed the lives of more than 100 people, in addition to injuring 150 others, in a disaster that prompted Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani to declare three days of general mourning throughout Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]While the people of the town of Al-Hamdaniya blamed the laxity in implementing safety procedures, the rampant corruption among officials for years, and nepotism![/size]
[size=45]Safety instructions are often not adhered to in Iraq, especially in the construction and transportation sectors.[/size]
[size=45]The infrastructure in this country is also dilapidated as a result of decades of conflict, which repeatedly leads to the outbreak of fires and other deadly disasters.[/size]
[size=45]In April 2021, more than 80 people died as a result of a fire in a hospital for Covid patients in Baghdad caused by the explosion of oxygen cylinders.[/size]
[size=45]Then, a few months later, in July of the same year, 64 people died as a result of a fire in a hospital in Nasiriyah, in the south of the country, that broke out in a ward for Covid patients.[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that the town of Al-Hamdaniya, also known by the names Qaraqosh and Baghdida, is an ancient Christian town whose residents speak a modern dialect of Aramaic, the language of Jesus Christ. Pope Francis visited it in March 2021 during his historic tour in Iraq.[/size]
[size=45]It was severely destroyed by ISIS, which took control of vast areas of the country.[/size]
