Liberia’s Ambassador to the Court of St. James,  Gurley Gibson – Schwarz  has called on all residing in United Kingdom, their relatives and friends  as well as all Liberians in the Diaspora  to offer prayers of sympathy for the bereaved family and the country on this solemn occasion of the tragic loss of 26 students, mostly children, in a fire disaster which engulfed their school on the night of Tuesday, 17 September 2019.

In a statement issued on the Embassy’s website, the Liberian envoy declared, “We Liberians and our friends around the World, all come together to mourn the loss of these beloved lives. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved families and the Islamic Community for such a loss. It is very difficult for all of us to face the death of such young people and no parent must have to bury a child at such a tender age.

On behalf of the staff and officers of my Embassy, she conveyed her sincere condolences to relatives and friends of the victims and prayed that God almighty bless and console them.  

“I call upon all Liberians to join members of the Islamic Community to pray for the departed souls. We offer prayers for the survivors and wish them a quick recovery, her statement concluded.”

A book of condolences has main while been opened at the Embassy of Liberia in London as a mark respect for the victims on this pungent occasion.
