“I can’t live in the place where my daughter and granddaughter were killed”
President Yoon Seok-yeol issued an urgent order for the mother of a 40-year-old person with developmental disabilities, who died while living in a semi-underground of a villa during a record heavy rain, saying, “I will find a public rental housing because my daughter and granddaughter will not be able to live in the house that suffered a disaster.” It was announced on the 10th.
A high-ranking government official said on the same day, “President Yoon ordered that the mother of Mr.
A woman with developmental disabilities in her 40s living in the semi-underground of a villa in Sillim-dong, Gwanak-gu, Seoul, and her younger sister and teenage daughter of her sister died due to heavy rain on the 8th. After visiting the accident site on the 9th, President Yoon said to his staff that he was sorry, saying, “Mr. A’s mother will not be able to go back to the house where her daughter and granddaughter suffered a disaster, but even after being discharged, she has no choice but to stay there.”
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security, the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport were reported to have inquired about a nearby public rental housing to find a place for the mother to live. The government plans to help her mother move into her new public rental housing as soon as she is discharged from the nursing hospital.
