HALIFAX—Mourners will descend upon a large Halifax hall today for the funeral of seven children who died in a fast-moving house fire. The service for the Barho children will begin at 1:30 p.m. at the Cunard Centre on the city’s waterfront. Members of the Barho family are shown upon arrival in Canada on Sept. 29, 2017 at the Halifax airport. The Quartz Drive house fire killed all of the Barho children: Ahmad, 14; Rola, 12; Mohamad, 9; Ola, 8; Hala, 3; Rana, 2 and Abdullah, who was born in Canada on Nov. 9. The Barho family lived in Elmsdale, a 30-minute drive north of Halifax, when they first arrived in Nova Scotia and were embraced by residents there.
