Paper boxes and tyres serve as fuel for shack residents in Gyumri
11:49 - 15.11.11
The severe weather conditions in the second largest city of Gyumri
have turned out especially awesome for the people who have been living
in shacks since the 1988 devastating earthquake.
To resist the cold, those people have to burn anything that comes to
hand - tyres, paper boxes etc. But even these are no longer a
salvation to the residents of the shabby shacks whose thin walls are
not strong enough to protect them against freezing, the local TV
channel Tsayg reported.
The socially disadvantaged have lost hope in getting an apartment or
obtaining modern heating devices. All they do is to find a little fuel
for yet another day.
