“They started their journey at 10 o’clock in the evening and we were eagerly waiting for them. When I received a phone call I was told that the car carrying my family was involved in the accident. Said Ramadan.
The first child of the family remembered her last conversation with her mother before the trip.
“I am the first child and I was already in the wedding hall. Mom told me she would come with my two little ones, but now they are both dead,” she added bitterly.
