Kurdish woman named as victim of Channel disaster

Maryam Nuri Hamdamin, who went by the nickname Baran, was a 24-year-old Kurdish student from northern Iraq.

Her relative Krmanj Ezzat Dargali confirmed her identity to the BBC and The Times.

He paid tribute to Maryam on Facebook by posting a photo of her at what appears to be her engagement party, and describing her in a poem as a “beautiful angel” who was a “romantic”.

A photo published by the BBC shows that Maryam had been in Germany before departing for France earlier this month.

Her fiance, who has not been named, said that he did not know that she was making her way to the UK with her female relative, and that she had planned to surprise him with her arrival.

He said that Maryam messaged him when the flimsy dinghy she and dozens of other people were in started to deflate.
