    PARTIALLY COLLAPSED GYUMRI DORM IS HOME TO TWENTY FAMILIES

    Liana is a 27 year-old single mother with five children.

    She and her kids were born in the dormitory belonging to the former
    Lentextile Combine in Gyumri that was damaged in the 1988 earthquake.

    In subsequent years, the dorm partially collapsed. But some twenty
    families still live there.

    The four story dormitory is located in the center of Gyumri, near
    the Shirak Regional Authority office and the police station. The
    dilapidated building has since been privatized.

    Families from various former Soviet republics now live in its ruins.

    The dorm has no public amenities. There are no water or sewage
    facilities. Residents use the collapsed section of the dorm as a
    toilet. Even the stairs are damaged to the point that one wrong step
    could end in a bad accident or worse.
