A bride and groom, whose wedding celebration ended in disaster after a fire killed more than 100 of their guests, have told Sky News they can no longer live in their community.

Revan, 27, and bride, Haneen, 18, say they feel they are "dead inside" despite surviving the blaze, which started inside a packed wedding hall in Qaraqosh, in the Nineveh province of northern Iraq.

Revan said he lost 15 members of his family in the fire, adding his bride "can't speak" after the loss of 10 of her relatives, including her mother and brother. Her father is also in a critical condition.
