Marseille Evacuates Building on Sixth Anniversary of Deadly Collapse
On November 5, 2024, exactly six years after the tragic collapse of two buildings in Marseille, authorities evacuated 35 residents from an unsafe building on Rue des Feuillants. The evacuation comes as the community commemorates the eight lives lost in the 2018 incident. Residents, including families and elderly tenants, faced grave risks due to structural issues such as severe cracks and water damage. While the local government ensured temporary accommodations for many, concerns about unsafe housing persist in the area known for substandard living conditions. The city is committed to addressing the housing crisis.
