Description
Jacuita Purifoy lost ten family members when a fire tore through a converted three-story house in Philadelphia, killing 12 people in one of the United States' deadliest residential infernos in recent years. "My sisters and my nephews and my nieces are gone. They are never coming back again," the 37-year-old tells AFP outside a nearby elementary school where families of victims are consoling each other. Eight children were killed in the blaze. Purifoy lost seven nephews and nieces, the youngest of which was just one-year-old. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
