As feared, the dead are young, in their late 20s and early 30s. They had beautiful new lives, spouses, and children, and homes.
This is such a terrible tragedy. They will need support and love and encouragement in the months and years to follow.
May Hashm comfort their families and friends.

The Carmel fire, Israel's worst natural calamity ever, is not yet under control, despite the arrival of fire-fighting planes from Bulgaria and other countries. The fire is still threatening the Denya neighborhood in Haifa.
A fire department spokesman announced a request for all firefighters to come to relieve the exhausted firefighters of the north, who are refusing to leave the site, but are on the verge of collapse. He announced that the firefighting services are critically short of firefighting materials, complicated by the lack of rain and strong winds.
