Following a tragic house fire in Saberio, Gali district, Abkhazia, taking the lives of five children on Sunday, the Georgian Government has announced Thursday a national day of mourning.
The government administration reported that Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze ordered the flags to be flown at half-mast at all the governmental buildings across the country.
The tragedy occurred after a woodstove fire raged out of control, consuming the house before the children’s grandmother could save them.
The government has expressed condolences to the families and friends of the victims.
