A poster of 13-year-old twins, Bieshoy and Carles Saber, is displayed outside their home in Imbaba, Egypt, Aug. 15, 2022. The twins died in a fire at Martyr Abu Sefein Coptic Orthodox Church during Mass the previous day. Some Catholic leaders have joined the Coptic Orthodox Church in mourning the 41 people — including 18 children — who died in a fire in Egypt’s capital, Cairo.
Eyewitnesses said of some screaming worshippers jumped out of windows, as the fire spread to higher floors of the church building. Church officials said the blaze was caused by a short circuit in the air conditioner, but The Associated Press reported that witnesses also pointed to a faulty generator.
Cardinal Souraphiel Berhaneyesus, president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Ethiopia, offered “my sincerest sympathies on the behalf of the Ethiopian Catholic Church and myself. … “I assure you our prayers to your church, the deceased and wish a full and speedy recovery to those who were injured.”
