A teenager is accused of setting a fire that killed 19 fellow students in Guyana, officials said.

She was angry that her phone was taken away as punishment for seeing an older man, police said.

Doors had been locked overnight to prevent girls from sneaking out, according to the fire service.

A dormitory blaze that killed 19 children in Guyana was set by a teenage student who was upset that her cellphone had been taken away, officials say.

The fire broke out at the Mahdia Secondary School in the South American country late on Sunday. A statement from the Guyana Fire and Rescue Service said the blaze was "maliciously set."

National Security Adviser Gerald Gouveia told the Associated Press that the suspect in the incident, a pupil at the school, was accused of setting the dorm on fire after being disciplined for having a liaison with an older man.

"A female student is suspected of having set the devastating fire because her cellular phone was taken away by the dorm mother and a teacher," Mark Ramotar, Guyana Police's communications chief, said in a statement seen by the local news outlet Stabroek News.

The AP reported that the dormitory had been locked to stop the girls from sneaking out at night.

Gouveia told the AP that the house mother had been asleep inside the building and panicked when she could not find the keys to unlock the doors. She made it out but "lost her five-year-old child in the fire," he said.

When firefighters arrived, the wood-and-concrete building that housed the 57 children was "engulfed in flames," the fire service said.

The building's windows were heavily barred and five doors were locked, it added.

It said thirty-eight students made it out after firefighters broke holes in the wall and those who got out — including six severely injured children who were airlifted to Georgetown, Guyana's capital city — were receiving medical treatment.

The fire service shared a video of their efforts on Facebook:

An unnamed official said that the girl had admitted to setting the fire, Deutsche Welle reported.

The pupil accused of lighting the fire is under police supervision in hospital, the outlet said, with police considering whether to charge her.

Leslie Ramsammy, an adviser to the country's health ministry, told the AP that the girl would remain in juvenile detention after she recovered.

Police were also looking to charge the man she was seeing with statutory rape as she was under 16 at the time, the AP reported.

The fire has become a national tragedy in Guyana, with President Irfaan Ali declaring three days of mourning, according to DW.

Several countries have sent messages of support.

Guyana's Home Affairs office has also said it is planning a national schools fire safety review, Stabroek News reported.

Guyana Oil and Gas Support Services & Guyana's Oil and Gas Industry

Guyana’s oil and gas industry has risen to global prominence in recent years following the discovery of substantial offshore oil reserves. With an estimated 11 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) discovered in the Stabroek Block, the country is poised to become one of the world’s leading oil producers. However, the successful extraction and management of these vast resources depend heavily on a network of Guyana Oil and Gas Support Services. These services, ranging from logistics to health, safety, and environmental management, form the backbone of any thriving oil and gas industry.

Haitians and the politics of recognition

Hi all! This is my most recent article published in the diaspora column of Stabroek News. Feel free to comment your thoughts on it. Have a nice week!

As I sit down to write this, it has just been announced that the humanitarian parole program, which allowed Haitians to enter the United States over the past two years, will not be renewed. This means that starting in January 2025, hundreds of thousands of Haitians, along with Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, and Cubans, will face the threat of deportation unless they can find alternative legal means to…

Reviews by Peoples

This is the biggest market in Guyana,but it has been so very poorly maintained for the past so many years that it has always been a major struggle to visit there for normal trouble free shopping/window shopping

Any fruits you need this is the place to get them and fresh. A market also for vegetables spices and whatever you need . Be careful as you walk around and keep an eye on your belongings

Be careful lot of pickpockets and persons looking to con you. They were pest and were offering broken jewellery probably stolen for sale.

This is one of two important markets in Georgetown. Most stalls there were along streets in the open and it felt not so crowded and claustrophobic as at the Stabroek, which carries the name of the town, before the British took over from the Dutch and called it Georgetown....There are several stalls, often under umbrellas, also outside the big market building of Stabroek and many taxis and minibusses are waiting in front. The single most dominant feature here is the four-faced clocktower with a clock that doesn't work as a timekeeper anymore. Inside there are many small shops, where almost anything possible gets sold. The place opens towards the river Demerara, where a ship might be docked....The edifice from the end of the 19th century had been designed by an Amrican architect and was built by an Iron Company from Delaware.
