New Houses Will Be Built For The Families Whose Tens Burned

New houses will be built for 17 Gypsy families, whose tents burned in a fire broke out last june in Altınoluk, in Küçüksu Neighbourhood. It's being planned to complete new houses, which will be built adding second storey to the current houses in Küçüksu neighbourhood, as soon as possible. There are so many families who have to live in tents even in metropolitan cities.

The fire broke out as a result of gas tube explosion caused tents of 17 Gypsy families living in Altınoluk to become unuseable. The families who have lived in new tents given to them by The Red Crescent will move to the new houses in Küçüksu whenever they are built.

Some citizens live in tents on account of the fact that their subsistence ways force them to be on the move continually. Especially citizens who subsist on basket making, sieve making or peddling live in tents in places they go to sell their goods. Some other citizens are obligated to live in tents because their houses were demolished by authorities without offering them an other place to live in. Winter brings them hard times each year. These people hope authorities to prepare suitable buildings for them in where they could live in especially in winters.
