Barho Family: Nova Scotia and Barho

barho family: The accident affected all people, said Imam Abdallah Yousri of the Umma Mosque, noting that every seat in the cavernous hall was filled, while hundreds remained standing in solemn grief over the young lives lost, according to CTV. The Barho family arrived in Nova Scotia in September 2017 as refugees from war-torn Syria, among 1,795 Syrian refugees who have come to Nova Scotia in recent years. More than 2,000 people showed up to the service at the Cunard Centre on Saturday, which was held in memory of the Barho children who died in the early hours of Feb. 19 when the blaze ripped through their home. On Saturday, as the seven small caskets were brought on stage, the children's mother, Kawthar Barho, could be heard sobbing. Yousri said the service was made public so the children's mother could see firsthand that the community is standing behind her. Mourners wept as the children's names were read teenager Ahmad; Rola, 12; Mohamad, 9; Ola, 8; Hala, 3; Rana, 2; and Abdullah, who was born in Canada on Nov. 9. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
