A house on Rua da Infância collapsed this morning, leaving the 11 Nepalese living in the house homeless. They have since been rehoused.
Bruno Pereira, Vice-President of the Funchal City Council, told JM that four other neighbours are currently waiting for engineers to inspect their homes as a precautionary measure.
At 3:00 am, the Madeiran Volunteer Firefighters and the Funchal Firefighters were called to the scene. The Municipal Civil Protection and the PSP also attended the incident.
Luckily no one was hurt, and as yet no details have been released as to what caused the building’s collapse.
