Thousands mourning in Christian town in Iraq after wedding hall fire
The fire happened in a Christian town that has been recovering since the war on ISIS. ISIS expelled Christians from Mosul, Nineveh, and Christian towns like Hamdaniya.
People gather at the site following a fatal fire at a wedding celebration, in the district of Hamdaniya in Iraq's Nineveh province, Iraq, September 27, 2023.
