Pray for humanity 👐

-  Mahmoud Darwish

لا ينفذُ صبر المؤمن ،اللهُ معنا يسمعُ نبضاتِ قلوبِنا المتسارعة من خوف لا يقدرُ على ردهِ سوى الله،لا ينفذُ صبرُ المؤمن واملهِ بالانسانية ،لشِعاعِ صُبحِ بعد ليلٍ طال ،يا الله اشعل قنديل سلامٍ في كُل شبر على هذهِ الارض ،ربنا انتَ السلامُ ومنك السلام،تباركتَ يا ذا الجلاِلِ والاكرام The Wishes for peace will always be in our prayers until we grant it,Not just for muslims or Iraqi people but for the whole world,May our patience continues,May our faith in humanity strengthens,Pray for the world,Pray for peace,Pray for Baghdad 💛

More than 80 people, including many children, were killed and hundreds wounded in bombings on two crowded commercial areas in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, hospital and police sources have said.

The powerful explosions early on Sunday came near the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, when the streets were filled with young people and families out after sunset.

The vast majority of the casualties came in the first blast, as a lorry packed with explosives blew up in the Karada district in central Baghdad, a predominantly Shia neighbourhood.

Sources told Al Jazeera that at least 79 people were killed and 132 wounded in the explosion which targeted a busy shopping area.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) group claimed responsibility for the attack in the Karada district in an online statement, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a US-based monitoring service.

Many of the victims were children, officials said, and there were fears the death toll could rise as more bodies could be lying under the rubble of devastated buildings.

In a separate blast, an improvised explosive device went off in a popular market in the mainly Shia neighbourhood of al-Shaab. Reports said at least at least five people were killed in that attack, and 16 were wounded. #PrayForIraq
