A senior MDA medic, Muhammad Ali, said: "When we reached the street, we saw smoke rising from one of the houses.
Civilians who were at the scene rescued the two victims, a man and a woman in their 80s, unconscious after inhaling smoke.
We performed medical tests and resuscitation operations, but the injury was critical and in the end we had to determine their death together with a local doctor. "
