Families in the Pariata Blocks of Carlos Soublette parish are living in fear and sleeping in the streets. Buildings 9 and 10 have suffered severe structural damage, with main supports compromised. Residents report that the situation has become increasingly dangerous following recent earthquakes, which have heightened the risk of imminent collapse.

The precarious state of the buildings has forced families to abandon their homes, seeking refuge in the open streets. They denounce the lack of adequate structural support and the constant threat to their lives. The community is in distress, facing an uncertain future as they await a definitive solution from the authorities.

Despite the evident danger and the displacement of residents, there has been no official intervention or clear plan presented to address the structural failures. The families of Pariata continue to endure the harsh reality of sleeping outdoors, exposed to the elements and the constant fear of a catastrophic event.
