A devastating fire outbreak occurred in a dormitory at a school in Uganda, resulting in the tragic loss of nine children. The incident occurred at St. Mary's School in the town of Nansana, Wakiso District, approximately 20 kilometers northwest of Kampala, the capital city of Uganda.
According to reports, the fire started at around 2:00 am on Wednesday, with the children asleep in their dormitory. The cause of the fire is still unknown, but authorities are investigating the incident.
The nine children who lost their lives were between the ages of 10 and 14. Many others were injured, with some receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.
The school's headteacher, Mr. Ssekamate, expressed his deepest condolences to the families of the victims and assured that an investigation would be conducted to determine the cause of the fire.
This tragic incident highlights the importance of fire safety measures in schools and other public buildings, particularly in developing countries where resources may be limited.
My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims, as well as the entire school community, during this difficult time.
