Firefighters in the Rotterdam Moddermanstraat ANP / Evert-Jan Daniels
The building that last night was seriously Rotterdam damaged by an explosion is propped up. The next few days research into the condition of the structure, reports news agency ANP. For now, the building on the Moddermanstraat however uninhabitable.
Only when the condition of the property is found to be good to return residents to collect their belongings and possibly their pet. More than a hundred residents of the complex of 58 homes in the coming time should stay elsewhere. For the residents of the most heavily damaged homes may go even months.
Although the technical condition of the building is poor, expecting director Peter van Lieshout of housing association Havensteder not that the building must be demolished. Probably the damage can be repaired, says the director. Certainly two houses are completely burnt.
The victims, who spent the night in a hotel, have now themselves through their insurance to provide shelter. Possibly not everyone is insured against such cases. “When people come in a fix, we try to come up with a solution,” Van Lieshout.
With the explosion were fourteen people injured, three seriously. The occupant of the apartment where the explosion took place is one of the seriously injured. Police have him because of his injuries still can not interrogate. The cause of the explosion is not yet known, but Van Lieshout assumes a gas explosion.
