"An entire house collapsed in front of eyewitnesses in the Israeli town of Holon. But, fortunately, there were no casualties. The day before the collapse, all residents of the house were evacuated due to the threat of collapse."

Seeing that laundry means they left all behind, no time to gather personal belongings. I would so hate that.

Residents of a Holon building that collapsed Sunday, demolishing all their possessions, have complained that they have no idea what they are supposed to do next and lamented that authorities are not doing enough to help them.

The building on Serlin Street in the central Israel city collapsed in the afternoon, just 30 hours after it was evacuated of its 32 families. The building gave way on its own, reflecting how close the situation had been to becoming a mass-casualty disaster.

Naor Navon, a married father of two, said: “We look at these ruins and understand that our lives have collapsed with the memories from our home and the items. We have been left in the street and we have nowhere to go.”

In the meantime, Navon and his family are staying in a hotel.

“The municipality provided us with a shameful solution, they opened a community center with mattresses on the floor and sleeping bags, there they expect 32 families to live without a shower and with one toilet? It is a disgrace,” he said. “We don’t know what will happen and when we will have a home again.”

Another resident, identified only as Chen, told the Kan public broadcaster that the evacuated residents include Holocaust survivors, a cancer patient, and a mother with a 1-month-old baby.

“We have no idea how this happened, we don’t know anything,” Moran Konfino, a resident who lived in the building for 15 years.

“If they would at least say something to us, but they are not saying anything,” she said. “We are in the dark. Why can nothing be said to us? What is going on here?”

Konfino, a mother of two, said: “I have been left with nothing. Thankfully, I am alive, but my whole life was in this home. All the photos of the children. I have no way to restore that.”

~ Collapse happened because of construction made in style of House of Cards.
No real solid & stable central columns or walls for support.
~ The walls became too weak after some time from long-term wear & weather phases.
