Overview
- In Mexico City’s Paseos de Taxqueña, supervised retrieval of belongings began Sunday and city authorities plan to launch structural rehabilitation starting Monday in coordination with the Reconstruction Commission.
- Six apartments require full clearance for the works, which officials indicated could span eight months to a year, while remaining units will be secured and monitored during repairs.
- Twenty-four families and the building’s concierge are receiving hotel lodging with rental support as agencies provide packing materials, transport assistance, medical care and ongoing risk mitigation.
- Three people were hospitalized from the Taxqueña blast; two have been discharged, and one man remains delicate but stable with burns to about 80% of his body.
- In Madrid’s Carabanchel, a suspected gas explosion killed an 80-year-old woman and injured nine; 32 flats remain evacuated with temporary housing provided as Policía Nacional prepares forensic work once entry is safe, and separate fires prompted evacuations in Mexico City’s Condesa (no injuries) and left 13 families sheltered in Lima.
