"Meanwhile, their mother, Alaa, had heard the news and rushed home. By the time she arrived, her husband, Hamdi, had been taken to hospital with severe injuries, while the charred, dismembered bodies of her children were being lifted out of the rubble.

In total, the bodies of seven of her children were retrieved...The eldest, 12-year-old Yahya, and the youngest, six-month-old Sayden, are still missing. "
