Volos: 55-year-old collapsed from hunger – he was found among garbage [Σκληρές εικόνες]

He lived without electricity and water for many years, he had to take a bath for almost five years, and there were days when he did not get food…

These primitive conditions take place in its most populated area Volos And today, the 55-year-old, who is living in poverty, collapsed when he went to leave the key to the door of the warehouse where he lives to go out.

He fell from his weakness and started calling for help, but no one in the neighborhood could help him because he could not get up from the floor to open the door.

An ambulance was immediately called and the police rushed in and broke down the door.

“We should be ashamed to be human”

“We should be ashamed to be human,” exclaims his neighbor, one of the few who offer him food.

The well-known incident of the 55-year-old Volos’s social services is that they know he lives among garbage and has nothing to eat unless his neighbors give him something. However, there was no reaction from his fellow citizens to help him.

His “house” is a small verandah, a space that was arbitrarily closed when his parents got married, and since then this space has been called “the room”. An illegal little storage room where he can sleep, but it’s full of trash.

“You get used to everything”

“You get used to everything. I am neither cold nor hot. I drink water from the neighbor’s tap. I use bottles for the toilet and I haven’t showered in five years. When I don’t have food, it doesn’t bother me. Everything is a habit. I can work, but no one wants me. I was a builder and I worked in the fields,” Zacharias, 55, said in an earlier interview on the local “events” website.
