Naseem Sadiq travelled to Bakhdida to explore the aftermath of the fire tragedy. Teaming up with a church representative, moderate financial assistance was distributed to youngsters left orphaned in the wake of the inferno that resulted in the loss of more than 100 lives during a wedding. In this conversation, he describes the grief-stricken survivors and the dire circumstances they face.
