Two neighborhood associations in Benetússer have publicly expressed their concern over the lack of official information following the complete collapse of the building located on Calle Las Américas. The groups are calling on the City Council for an urgent statement detailing the situation of the affected individuals, potential housing solutions, and planned safety measures for the area.
The entities, the Association of Neighbors of the Station neighborhood of Benetússer and the Ecos del Agua Neighborhood Association, state that the information they possess comes exclusively from other residents and media reports, as they have not received any official communication from the council.
The three-story building collapsed during Tuesday night after residents detected cracks and loud noises. Everyone managed to evacuate before the structure gave way, preventing any injuries or people trapped in the debris. The incident left the property completely reduced to rubble, also affecting several parked vehicles nearby and prompting the precautionary evacuation of another adjacent building.
The associations are raising key issues such as housing alternatives, social and economic aid for those affected, and are requesting effective channeling of the citizen solidarity that has already been organized.
They also express concern about security around the collapsed building, requesting measures to prevent theft from the remains. Technicians are evaluating the exact causes of the collapse, which could be related to nearby construction work, although an official link has not yet been established.
The associations are willing to collaborate with the City Council to improve communication and convey accurate information to the public during this delicate time.
