ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT The former public office building has been occupied since 2013 by low-income families and individuals struggling with rising housing costs in the Italian capital. Police have blocked access to the building since the fire on 29 July, leaving residents waiting for a solution. Volunteer doctors say the heat and uncertainty are affecting vulnerable people, including elderly residents and children. Talks are underway over a possible agreement that would allow Rome's city government to use the building for public housing. In the meantime, residents continue living outside near the entrance.
