Two months after the explosion which killed eight people and led to the evacuation of 800 people in Marseille, how many are still in a precarious situation? The department validated, on June 23, a sum of 100,000 euros in favor of the victims.
In the landscape of Marseille, the wound is not closed. Two and a half months after the explosion in the rue de Tivoli (Bouches-du-Rhône) which killed eight people, the district remains bruised and 12 buildings inaccessible. Ronan owns a duplex right next to the scene of the tragedy. Important security work is still in progress. In the meantime, with his partner and two children, he found refuge in a nearby apartment. Their insurance pays the rent.
The buildings have undergone a triple appraisal
But for the support of the work to come, they still have no certainty. On April 9, a gas explosion blew up a building in the middle of the night. The next day, 300 residents were asked to leave the neighborhood urgently, as a precaution. Since then, each evacuated building has undergone a triple expertise, and most of the displaced have been able to return home. The inhabitants return and with them, the life of the district.
