"We have low pensions, how are we going to pay for this?": Resident of Marinha Grande still waiting for storm Kristin support

Seven months after storm Kristin passed through Marinha Grande, many residents continue to face serious problems in their homes. The houses show significant damage, including destroyed roofs, lifting floors and peeling walls.

The affected residents are still waiting for promised support to deal with the damage caused by the storm. One resident questions how they will be able to pay for the repair costs, noting that pensions are low.

The situation remains unresolved, with much reconstruction work still to be done in the region.
