PENANG: A pregnant woman could only watch helplessly as her two children were burnt to death in a pre-dawn blaze that swept through a cluster of over 50 houses at the Noordin Street Ghaut foreshore yesterday. 

Umi Kalsum Harun, 38, who is seven months pregnant, fainted when she saw the bodies of Arwani Zulaika, two, and Anetasha Marid Diana, three, when they were brought out by firemen at about 9am.
