Nizaha Aalaa and Sarah Gazdar were both little kids going to school by bus . Both of them died as they fell asleep and were forgotten in the bus in the scorching heat .Both of them Indian expats ,Both of them died because someone did not do this one-minute job after arriving at school - checking the bus to be sure nobody left behind .
One died in Doha in May 2010 and the other in Abu -Dhabi on October 7 2013 ....
One was the pupil of DPS-Modern Indian School in Doha . The other was pupil of Worood Academy Private School, Abu- Dhabi .
The school bus had no bus attendant in Doha and the Pakistani driver did not know he had this duty to check the bus after the arrival . The Abeu- Dhabi school bus had an onboard helper but she did not do her job .
The school has to close in Abu -Dhabi no licence for it from September . The school in Doha is still operating .
The bus attendant in Abu- Dhabi got only one year jail ! The principal who allowed the bus go without attendant got nothing in Doha ! Though parents reported her just weeks before the tragedy that their kids were forgotten in the bus and they were just lucky to escape ! She even had a farewell party which was published in local daily .She was allowed to travel before the trial !
Nizaha Alaa and Sarah Gazdar ... the victims of negligence - it could have happened to any one's kid and it is important that we raise our voice for the safety of kids !
