Two young siblings tragically lost their lives, and their younger brother was critically injured in a house fire on Thursday in the Old Market neighborhood of El Jadida, Morocco, sources confirmed.

The three children, all from the same family, were at home when a fire broke out under mysterious circumstances. The blaze claimed the lives of two siblings, both under the age of eight, while the youngest was rushed to the intensive care unit at Mohammed V Hospital in El Jadida.

At the time of the incident, the father was reportedly away for work, and the mother had left the house to attend a condolence gathering in the city. Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.

Civil protection services, local authorities, and residents responded promptly to extinguish the fire, rescuing one child and recovering the bodies of the other two.

The remains of the deceased children have been transferred to the morgue for autopsy as part of a routine preliminary investigation led by the judicial police, with support from forensic and technical units. The investigation is being conducted under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the El Jadida Court of Appeal to uncover the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
