Michela Boldrini, the 39-year-old Italian tourist hospitalized for 6 days at the Aga Khan hospital in Mombasa , Kenya, after the fire at the Watamu Barracuda Inn resort where she was spending her holidays has died .
Admitted to intensive care , she got worse day after day until she died. The mother landed a little while ago in the Kenyan city, assisted by the Italian Embassy which, through the honorary Consulate, has followed the story from the outset in contact with the local authorities.
Nearly 200 Italian tourists fled last week from the resort reduced to ashes, on the shores of the Indian Ocean in the town of Watamu, one of the most popular destinations in the African country.
The fire, according to the testimonies of the inhabitants of Watamu, broke out from the Mbuyu Lodge, a bar-restaurant with rooms on the central street of the town, where there are also shops, discos and ice cream parlors .
It spread easily for the traditional "makuti" roofs made with dry palm leaves that burn quickly . In July 2 years ago a similar fire had destroyed an Italian boutique hotel, the Alawi, in Watamu, and a series of private villas .
