Syrian family lauds community’s response to tragedy
A Co Galway-based Syrian family which lost four close relatives, including three young children, in Turkish-led military attacks on north-east Syria this week, has expressed gratitude for the overwhelming community response.
Mariam Al-Omar Al-Issa, who was resettled with her family in Gort two years ago, learned earlier this week that her sister Fatema was injured and Fatema’s husband Khalil and their children, twin boys Mohammed and Qusay, 7, and four-month-old daughter, Lujain, died during a military strike.
