Twin children aged 6 die after inhaling stove gas The two children passed away before reaching the hospital.

In the district of Ranya in the Kurdistan Region, on Saturday, twin children aged six died after suffering from gas inhalation emitted from a burning stove in their home while they were sleeping.

According to Iraqi media sources, the children passed away before arriving at the hospital, in an incident that highlights the dangers of using stoves during the night, especially with closed windows during the harsh winter.

Repeated suffocation incidents Reports indicate that similar incidents have occurred in various governorates of the Kurdistan Region, as well as other Iraqi provinces, where burning stoves during sleep have led to suffocation deaths in families, in addition to house fires.

Iraqi authorities emphasize the importance of following safety measures when using stoves, including proper ventilation and avoiding leaving stoves burning while sleeping, to prevent suffocation and domestic accidents.
