TORONTO - Grief-stricken relatives of passengers killed aboard an airliner shot down by Iran over Tehran last month are grappling in Canada with the daily challenges of long-distance funeral arrangements, empty homes, cars left in driveways and unpaid bills.
Meisam Salahi’s younger brother Mohsen and sister-in-law Mahsa Amirliravi were passengers who died on the flight. Many next of kin are in Iran, giving family and friends in Canada limited power in dealing with the victims’ estates. “We haven’t even started to deal with the aftermath,” Alavi added. “These past two weeks have been really tough emotionally, and at the same time, all the work we had to do, it didn’t leave us with much time to think about stuff we have to do in Canada.”
More than 100 Canadian government workers are assisting the families of victims connected with Canada on everything from managing DNA samples to repatriating bodies and getting legal advice and visas, said Omar Alghabra, a member of Canada’s Parliament tasked with liaising with the families.
