Ahmed Dubardani, deputy head of the Nineveh health directorate, told Rudaw that at least 113 people have lost their lives in the blaze, adding that around 60 of those wounded were in critical condition.
The fire is believed to have been caused by fireworks, said Saad Hammad, spokesperson for the Nineveh civil defense.
A number of the wounded have been transferred to the hospitals of Erbil, according to Kurdistan Region Health Minister Saman Barzinji.
Hamdaniya district, located nearly 40 kilometers southeast of Mosul, has a Christian majority population.
