Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>People in two tiny West Africa towns are stunned by the deaths of sisters, nephews and mothers in a tight-knit immigrant community Early on Sunday morning, Ebrima Dukureh, 60, answered a phone call at his home in the Gambian town of Allunhari.<\/p>\n

It was his nephew, Haji Dukureh, 49, calling from New York City, to check in \u2013 as he often did. The two men caught up on news, asked after each other\u2019s families and exchanged blessings.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay God protect us, may God give us peace,\u201d they prayed.<\/p>\n

When the call dropped out after a few minutes, Haji sent a voice note: \u201cI might be delayed sending back money, but if you need anything or there is an emergency, tell me immediately, don\u2019t wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the last time Ebrima would hear his voice.<\/p>\n

Later that night, a fire tore through the Bronx apartment block where Haji lived, killing him, his wife, Haja, and three children, as well as 13 others.Eight of the victims were children, and most of them had intimate links to families in this tiny West African country. Sunday night\u2019s tragedy in New York has plunged communities on both sides of the Atlantic into grief and consternation.<\/p>\n

Haji had lived in New York for 17 years, and was one of many Gambians \u2013 most with roots in Allunhari and another town, Soma \u2013 who lived in the block at 333 East 181st Street. The 19-storey building had since the 1980s been a landing spot for Gambians and other West Africans seeking a better life in the US.<\/p>\n

Ebrima\u2019s eyes were still red from tears as he reached for his phone and swiped through pictures of Haji and his family. Although they were close in age, Ebrima had become a father figure for Haji when his parents died.<\/p>\n

And in a culture where personal success also means success for the family and wider community, Haji had stayed in close contact after he emigrated.<\/p>\n

Most families in Allunhari survive on limited means, reliant on farming \u2013 and remittances from sons, daughters, husbands and wives who have left to seek their fortunes in other African countries or farther afield.Pointing to a stack of rice sacks in a store that Haji had paid for earlier this month, Ebrima said that his nephew sent money every month for food, school fees and other expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was obedient, he was always reaching out to me, helping the family,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Haji earned modest wages doing \u201cnight-time work\u201d in New York, said Ebrima, but he also sent money to extended family members and even neighbours when they held celebrations.<\/p>\n

Such payments can have an outsized impact in a country where about 48% of the population live in poverty, according to the UN. According to the Gambia\u2019s central bank, remittances to the country are worth 20% of its GDP.<\/p>\n

The fire has stunned the people of Allunhara. There has been no official declaration of mourning, but grief from the deaths has gripped the entire town.<\/p>\n

Televisions were muted and groups of people sat in the shade in a sombre mood. Along the roadside, where pounding music normally blares from loudspeakers, welders worked in silence.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch a thing has never happened here,\u201d said one passerby. \u201cEntire families perishing \u2013 when have we witnessed that?\u201dIn Soma, a few hours to the west, well-wishers streamed into the compound of the Tunkara family. Some brought food, money or gifts. Others just sat and remembered 41-year-old Fatoumata Tunkara and her 13-year-old son, Omar, who both died in the fire.<\/p>\n

Aji Mama Tunkara, 71, pulled out fraying photographs of her sister, in Soma, where she was born, and in New York, where she moved about 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did not have any child and after two years our late mother gave me the responsibility to raise her. She was not only a sister but like my child,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Fatoumata had also helped the family, sending monthly remittances, which helped their lives improve.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was the pillar of the family. I spoke to her hours before she died,\u201d said Tunkara. \u201cBut now it seems our situation will get worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fatoumata, who worked two jobs in New York, did not live in the building where the blaze occurred but her childminder looked after Omar there, said Jaha Dukureh, a prominent human rights activist who was born in Soma and now lives in Atlanta.When she went to pick him up it was very late so she decided to stay \u2013 and then the fire happened,\u201d Dukureh said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to highlight that she had two daughters, two sons and she was all her kids had,\u201d she said. \u201cThe people who died aren\u2019t people who lived a luxurious life. It\u2019s really sad to see them living in such conditions and dying in the way that they did.\u201dJaha Dukureh, who campaigned to have female genital mutilation banned in her home country, said that support from the Gambian community \u2013 both in the US and abroad \u2013 has been profound. But she added that the families affected by the blaze would need much more help.<\/p>\n

Fatoumata\u2019s daughter had set up a GoFundMe page for donations, Dukureh said, to look after her siblings, now living with a relative.<\/p>\n

\u201cFatoumata cared about her children, she was always smiling, always laughing. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever met anyone as gentle as she was,\u201d Dukureh said.<\/p>\n

For many Gambians, the Bronx felt like a home away from home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community has everything that you need: you have the African stores, the products. You can\u2019t step outside without speaking to your people. That\u2019s what makes this place a place you\u2019d want to come to. It\u2019s also what makes this a tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Soma and Allunhar, there were mixed feelings about whether the bodies of their relatives should be returned to the Gambia to be buried or buried in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing the corpses to Allunhari will be more devastating because we have never witnessed such a tragedy,\u201d said Haji Dakureh\u2019s aunt Aja Musa Njie. \u201cThe vacuum left behind by Haji cannot be filled by anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
