A statement from Dubai Civil Defense issued by the city-state’s Dubai Media Office gave the death toll. Authorities did not answer questions from The Associated Press. A man working nearby at the time of the blaze put the start of the fire at just after noon Saturday. He told the AP that there had been an explosion, like from a gas cylinder catching fire, followed by thick black smoke. He said neighbors believed people were asleep inside at the time, something typical for the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan when the faithful abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset.
