Funeral services are being held across North Macedonia for victims of the March 16 nightclub fire, which claimed 59 lives
Funeral services are being held Thursday across North Macedonia for dozens of victims of last weekend’s devastating nightclub fire, as grieving communities gather for burials in several cities and towns throughout the country.
The March 16 blaze claimed 59 lives, mostly young people, including several members of the pop band DNA, who were performing when flames engulfed the venue in the eastern town of Kocani. Authorities have set up cordons around burial sites to provide privacy for mourning families.
In Kocani, where 43 victims are being laid to rest, hundreds of black-clad mourners walked solemnly along dirt paths to freshly dug graves marked with paper signs.
