The orange cube of Jannat, 3 years to complete at the end of November, appears from what is left of the tent, along with a rolled up umbrella and a plastic doll with silver hair. A little further on, in the mess that the violence of a never-before-seen wind has created in a moment, there are other little games, a necklace, a pair of shoes, and a backpack. I am from Malak, the older sister, 14, a promise of judo. A towel with the face of a smiling cartoon heroine, however, was left hanging by a thread that ties her to the uprooted tree.

They are the objects and games of Lassiri Sisters, from Turin, daughters of parents who came to Italy years ago from Casablanca, Morocco. The two little sisters were crushed to death in their tent, where they slept with their parents, the older sister and the little brother – 19 and 9 years old respectively – from the only tree, a four-meter high poplar, uprooted by the strong wind from yesterday morning. after 7. They had finished the few days of vacation but they had delayed the return home one day and would leave today. When doctors informed them of their daughters’ deaths, Father Hicham, 43, and Fatima’s mother, 36, hugged their other two children, Nissrin and little Tari. Then, through tears, they accepted Organ donation. Their lives will save other lives, they told the doctors.

The dynamics in tragedy it seems clear. After a night of bad weather, strong wind and rain, what was described as an atypical whirlwind, at dawn it struck the Verde Mare camp, in Partaccia, a fraction of the municipality of Massa, and uprooted a single tree. one of the many poplars on the campsite. The log completely hit a part of the tent where the two girls were sleeping and hit them on the head. The youngest died during transport to the hospital, the 14-year-old sister three hours later. We tried everything to save her, but her condition immediately seemed desperate, explained the doctors at Massa hospital. The father, mother, sister and brother who were sleeping on the other side of the tent woke up with a thud. We felt the ground shake and saw the tent collapse, ”they told rescuers in shock. The tent deflated like a punctured balloon, then we saw the trunk of the tree and under it were Jannat and Malal. The father picked up his youngest daughter, screamed in the rain, cried desperately, trying to revive her.

The help of 118 and the firefighters was timely. The doctor who arrived at the scene also requested the intervention of the rescue helicopter, made impossible by bad weather. It appears that the aircraft has tried several times to get up but then had to give way due to the wind. Firefighters have been working all morning to secure the area. Some bungalows and tents near the trees, considered unsafe, were evacuated.

Prosecutor Roberta Moramarco has ordered investigations by an agronomist for today. We try to understand if that tree should be cut down by the owners of the campsite because it is dangerous. The roots seemed dry, the trunk split into several parts. On Saturday and Sunday the civil protection of Tuscany had issued an orange alert for bad weather and now the prosecutor wants to know if all the security procedures have been followed at that campsite a stone’s throw from the sea.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in a tweet expressed his condolences for the tragedy: The tragic death of the two sisters who were on vacation in Marina di Massa hurts us deeply. A vacation turned into tragedy. A strong and touching hug for parents and their families. The mayor of Massa, Francesco Persiani, has promised to help his parents from the municipality. According to some friends present at the campsite, the family would have used the government bond to spend a quiet vacation. The first after so many years.
