Ile Gotsevski will be posthumously awarded for his heroic actions during the tragedy in Kochani

Macedonia is burying its dead, mourning not only the victims of the devastating fire at the Pulse disco in Kochani, but also Ile Gotsevski, an ambulance driver whose selflessness cost him his life.

North Macedonia's Health Minister Arben Taravari announced that he would be posthumously awarded for his selfless service, reports BGNES.

Gotsevski, who worked tirelessly after the tragedy, spent 32 consecutive hours to transport the wounded from Kochani to Skopje. He made 11 emergency trips, overcoming exhaustion and grief, only to succumb to a heart attack the next day.

Tarawari ran to answer questions about why the ambulance service in Kochani was not equipped and how one man was allowed to work for such a long time.

Meanwhile, the situation of the injured remains critical, although there are signs of improvement.

The fire at the Pulse disco in Kochani broke out in the early hours of 16 March. 59 people were killed and 165 injured. All of Macedonia is praying that the number of dead does not increase. The most seriously injured are being treated abroad, 15 of them in Bulgaria.

Funeral ceremonies began at 11:00 local time in Shtip, at 12:00 in Kochani, and at 13:00 in the village of Obleshevo. Today, the members of the DNA group who died will also be buried in Skopje, in Strumica and in Novo Selo, Shtip. | BGNES
