A balcony collapsed in the city of Colón, Panama. The incident occurred with house No. 7087, located on 7th Street, Central Avenue, which shows the advanced state of deterioration of this property. Javier Blas, an official from the Ministry of Housing and Territorial Planning (Miviot), reported that the affected structure shows significant wear and tear. “It is a building that is already quite deteriorated, as you can see,” he noted during the preliminary inspection. Following the collapse, immediate actions were activated, including a technical evaluation in coordination with the infrastructure team. The building is currently home to 31 families, who are waiting for concrete actions and relocation, as they are included in the relocation plans.
