Anas Sabi is a Moroccan national living in Turin, bravely saved a woman who set herself on fire in front of the National Social Security Institute's office in Turin (istituto nazionale della previdenza sociale).

Originally from Casablanca, the man was queuing at the door right behind the desperate woman, whose condition is critical. «I saw her set herself in fire, it was terrible», Anas told the Italian Press agency ANSA today, adding that he is «thankful to god for giving me the strength to react and remain calm».

According to the same source, Anas ran toward the fire extinguished, grabbed it and activated it. «I prayed for her, she said, everything is going to be alright».

Living in Italy since his early childhood, Anas was at the National Social Security Institute because like, the woman who set herself ablaze, is unemployed. «I was working at the electrical systems industry, and thanks to this job, I managed to take care of my family, we are five and I cannot do it anymore, I am not married, how can I be married when I don’t have money ?»

To thank him for his courageous endeavor, Anas was received this morning at the National Security Institute’s office. The woman’s family members have publicly thanked Anas : «I would like to thank the man who helped my sister today», the woman’s brother declared to Globalist. The same source added that 70 % for the woman's body was severely burned.
