Spring arrives for Typhoon Morokot disaster victims

Families displaced after the Typhoon Morokot disaster were given temporary accommodation while awaiting the completion of permanent dwellings. However, four families who have yet to find permanent dwellings are literally living life day to day after the government posted a notice containing a deadline for vacation of the premises. House occupant Xu Wen-xiong expressed that although he has some temporary work, his wife recently gave birth and as a result he is unable to go out to look for more permanent work – this has left the family living from hand to mouth.

The family was completely dumbfounded on receipt of the eviction notice and Xu Wen-xiong feels that the government has a responsibility to fulfill its promise to the end. On the 15th January tribespeople began moving into their new homes built by the charitable foundation Tzu Chi, who took over responsibility for building work at the New Laiyi Settlement. Tzu Chi expressed that it awaited the approval of the original residents to continue with the third phase of building work and hoped to reach a settlement very soon. Pingtung County Government Social Affairs Department expressed that the families remaining would be treated as a special case and would most certainly be found appropriate accommodation.

潮州安置所僅存住戶有春天 ( 來義鄉久拉卡拉久部落文化推展協會 )

因莫拉克颱風而入住潮州忠誠安置所的受災戶，隨著永久屋陸續完工落成並入住之後，目前還有4戶人家繼續留住，無法獲得妥善的處理，他們可以說是住一天算一天，因為他們的門口已經被縣政府貼上遷出的期限通知單。住戶許文雄表示，他雖有臨時工可做，但因老婆最近剛生產，無法外出工作，導致吃住都成問題，現在這個通知頓時讓他傻眼，他說政府應該要幫到底！而由慈濟接手完工的新來義部落永久屋，已於1月15號落成入住，慈濟慈善基金會表示，第三期的工程就等原居地的住戶點頭，而且必須要盡快達成協議。屏東縣政府社會處也表示，僅存的住戶將以專案方式處理，讓受災戶都能受到政府的妥善安置。
