A massive fire at an apartment block in Al Nahda, has left several families homeless. The fire, according to sources, broke out at 2am in the 34-storey tower and all floors were gutted.
A resident of the tower, who did not wish to be named, said Sharjah civil defence officers and police reached the spot in 30 minutes and the blaze was doused. However, some apartments were still burning until 6.30am.
“We’ve lost everything, people are on the streets and families have to make do with what they have.”
He said they had not heard from the owner or municipality officials.
