Doha fire death toll rises to six
The death toll from last week’s fire tragedy in the Al Asmakh area of
Doha rose to six yesterday with one of the injured succumbing to his
injuries.
Dulan Salika Rathnasiri, who was in a critical condition at the
Trauma Intensive Care Unit of Hamad Hospital, passed away at 9 a.m., Sri
Lankan Coordinating Committee (SLCC) President Lenny Cramer informed The
Peninsula.
The fire, in a two-storey building on Al Maymoun street, had claimed
five lives on June 19. The Sri Lankan community in Qatar held a
religious ceremony at the Sri Lankan Embassy premises yesterday evening
to pay its last respects to the six victims - all Sri Lankans - of the
devastating fire.
