‘There’s injustice’: Bronx fire victims mourned amid frustration and anger

Family, friends and neighbors of the dead try to make sense of the tragedy as they gather to pay final respects to loved ones

A Bronx community in New York city gathered on Sunday to pay its final respects to loved ones, a week after a fire filled a high-rise apartment building with thick, suffocating smoke that killed 17 people, including eight children.

The mass funeral caps a week of prayers and mourning within a close-knit community hailing from West Africa, most with connections to The Gambia.
