Trapped

Her family’s pleas for help have fallen on deaf ears.

The only way for her to get out of her apartment is with the help of emergency services, and that’s happened not once, not twice, but hundreds of times.

Statement from a Department of Communities and Justice spokesperson

The Department of Communities and Justice has offered Ms Faraj and her family immediate temporary accommodation while we urgently seek alternative housing.

The Department has apologised to Ms Faraj and will work closely with her and her family to locate suitable permanent accommodation as quickly as possible.
