Irina Vasile, a resident of Spectrum House, recounted the harrowing experience of the fire: 'I can't focus on my daily life because every single day I remember how I woke up surrounded by smoke and I felt I was going to die burning. I'm traumatised.' Her haunting memories illustrate the deep psychological impacts of such traumatic events.
Barking and Dagenham Council has responded to the crisis by providing extensive support to those affected: 'Our support has included emergency accommodation, rest centre access, providing essential supplies, advice and wellbeing and trauma support.' This shows their immediate commitment to addressing the needs of the homeless residents.
