The victims were a 4-year-old boy and his brother of about six months. The third child aged two, with third-degree burns on his body, was transferred to the Children's Hospital.

One of the firefighters who attended the emergency said that the narrow streets and the location of the house on a slope created t obstacles in reaching the fire in addition to the lack of water.

Neighbors said that the lack of water is a permanent problem in the community.
