55 Families Left Homeless After Rio Abajo Fire
The
Minister of Housing and Zoning, Jose Domingo Arias, said today he would be
meeting today at 10:00 am with a social and engineering team of the institution
to evaluate the options they might provide to those who were left homeless by
the fire in Rio Abajo. "We will evaluate the area to see if they can be located
in the same sector, the problem would be the land because there is no room to
build new buildings, however we will not rule out all possible options to
provide assistance to these families," he said on TVN Noticias. He added that
the team from this entity will be responsible for evaluation of the families who
spent the night at the homes of other relatives or in a hotel, paid for by the
office of the Mayor of Panama City. Approximately 55 families lost all of their
belongings yesterday, after an old building, known as the Corotú barracks, was
entirely consumed by the flames of a fire reported yesterday in Calle 13, Rio
Abajo. (Panama America)
