13 children killed in Qatari shopping centre fire

It was not immediately clear what caused the blaze in the shopping mall, and
the interior ministry said an investigation was under way.

“There don’t seem to have been any fire alarms or sprinklers at the mall,” a
relative of a two-year-old child who died in the fire told the Reuters news
agency.

Many expatriates live in Qatar, a gas and oil-rich Gulf Arab state due to host
the football World Cup in 2022, with one of the highest standards of living
in the world.

The Villagio Mall, which opened in 2006, is an Italianate-themed shopping
complex with a hotel, theme park and canal plied by gondolas.
