A family which had part of its apartment demolished in an incident on Thursday is appealing for help to find a wheelchair-friendly apartment in a central area.

The woman interviewed after the accident.

A total of 14 adults and two children were evacuated from three apartments after the collapse in Guardamangia, the second such incident in a week.

Janet Walker wrote on Facebook that on Thursday night the family were hosted at the Diplomat Hotel. They had now been offered an apartment in Qawra which, however, did not meet the family’s needs. They were also offered a room in at St George's Park in Paceville for Friday night.

Ms Walker said she worked in Kirkop, her sister in Paceville, her niece's school was in Ħamrun and her mother needed constant attention.

“Do you think we should be treated better? We are literally exhausted. Please help me push this forward,” she pleaded.

Replying to a comment, Ms Walker said that she had been offered therapy but what the family wanted was a roof over their heads.

The architect, the builder and the owner “should step out of their homes and try this life” if need be, she said.
