01:42Russia: ‘Time does not heal’ - Beslan mothers mourn victims 14 years after tragedy
Relatives of those that died in the Beslan school massacre gathered at the school in Beslan, Saturday, to commemorate the 14th anniversary of the hostage crisis.
“All this is still here, the smells, the voices. Time does not heal, it’s just a phrase for those … You just learn to live with it whether you want it or not – you live,” said Nadezhda Gurieva, mother of two of the Beslan victims.
Dozens of mourners came to the ruined gymnasium of school Number One, where over 1,000 people were held captive in 2004. The mourners laid flowers and lit candles in memory of the 334 people who died.
On September 1, 2004, militants from the North Caucasus region seized the school and held 1,000 people captive for three days without food or water.
The siege ended on September 3, leaving 334 dead, the youngest victim was only two years old.
