A house owned by Izaura Gomes Faria that is located in the Fusam neighbourhood, Bairo Pite suburb, sub-district of Dom Eleixo (Dili District) was ruined by a natural disaster (landslide) that occurred at noon on Tuesday (22/4).
Although no one was killed, all of the owner's possessions were also hit by the landslide and were scattered about outside where the house stood. The bedroom and wardrobe were destroyed including the walls and roof of the house which were also scattered about in pieces.
This natural disaster caused the local residents to panic including this owner for fear that another landslide would come.
The disaster's victim, Izaura Gomes, when meeting with this newspaper, said that he hoped that the government would help him especially the department that deals with this kind of thing."Everything was destroyed. To fix it, we don't have the money. We hope the government can help us" said Izaura.
Izaura said that since the earthquake that struck East Timor a few days ago, he did not dare to sleep in the room in his house because the house, which is in the mountains, felt weak not like as usual. This fear is not without foundation because after an interval of several days since the earthquake, his house was covered by the landslide.
Izaura lives with 7 family members - his wife, children, his mother and a brother.
