Tragic Death of Tajik Family in Attempt to Stay Warm During Power Outages
A tragic incident in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, has shed light on the risks faced by families trying to stay warm in the face of chronic power cuts in the country. A family consisting of a couple and their four children lost their lives while attempting to heat their home with a coal stove. The cause of death was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning.
The funeral for the family was held on February 28, a day after the tragic incident took place. Tajikistan is currently experiencing widespread blackouts, leaving many residents grappling with the challenge of keeping their homes warm during the freezing winter months.
This devastating event serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by the lack of consistent access to electricity in Tajikistan. The government and local authorities must take urgent action to address the issue of power cuts and ensure that families have reliable heating sources to avoid such tragedies in the future. Our hearts go out to the family and their loved ones during this difficult time.
