Several residents of the Saye Town Community in Sinkor remain homeless in the aftermath of the demolition of properties in the area.
The affected families, some of them now sleeping in the overwhelming debris, have called on government to urgently intervene by providing support, at least to the children and their mothers.
They now feel forgotten as they continue to spend the nights without proper shelters or relocation plans.
The January 31 ‘surprised demolition’ exercise, displaced multiple householders, leaving residents without shelters.
The affected families are struggling to meet their daily needs.
Some of the victims say they are currently relying on handouts from friends, relatives, and temporary spaces as they search for alternative accommodations.
“We have nowhere to go,” one affected resident said, explaining that families with children, and the elderly relatives are among those most wedged by the situation.
Community leaders have urged government authorities and humanitarian organizations to provide immediate relief, including temporary shelter, food assistance, and clear information on the future of the demolished area.
They also called for dialogue between officials, and residents to prevent further hardship.
As of now, there has been no detailed public response from national authorities to address the concerns the internally displaced persons raised.
Some of them continue to appeal for swift government attention as they attempted rebuilding their lives in the wake of the demolition. By Winston Digen, Contributor/spoonTV
