On Sunday, 8th January 2022, fire broke out in a New York building after a space heater that had been left running continuously burst into flames. At least 16 Gambians, including 6 children were confirmed dead.<\/p>\n

The Gambia government, through the foreign ministry, had promised to process travel documents for those intending to attend burials here when the remains are repatriated.<\/p>\n

The Standard has been reliably informed that some escorts have already arrived yesterday. There was a mass funeral on Sunday which capped a week of prayers and mourning within a close-knit community in the Bronx, where 15 people were reportedly buried.<\/p>\n

The repatriated bodies to The Gambia, numbering four, are expected to land at the airport this morning. Senior government officials are expected at the sombre occasion.<\/p>\n
