Homeless still feeling aftershock of earthquake
More than two months after the earthquake that left nine dead and 300 injured in the town of Lorca in the southeast region of Murcia, hundreds of people are still living rough.
The some 300 homeless are the weak link in the chain in that they have no family to take them in or lack funds for alternative accommodation. Most of those left homeless are still living in tents in an emergency camp on the outskirts of the town of 92,000. And there doesn't appear to be any solution to their problem on the immediate horizon.
"We don't know when this situation will be resolved," the town's mayor, Francisco Jodar, said Monday.
Jodar calculates it will take three years and 1 billion euros to restore the town to what it was before the quake, which also damaged 75 historical buildings.
