Salt Mine Collapse Threatens Romanian Families

Parajd Mine Collapse Threatens Families: 'We Live in Fear' The Fülöp family in Parajd, Romania, is among dozens facing displacement and hardship due to the imminent collapse of a nearby salt mine. Forty-five families have already been evacuated after the Korond-patak stream flooded, destabilizing the mine further. "We live in fear," says Izsó Tünde Erika, the mother, holding her young child. "It could collapse at any moment." The family's home is in disrepair, and the father is unemployed since the mine closed. The video shows the precarious state of the mine, the family's modest home, and the emotional toll of the situation. Authorities are working to address the situation, but the future remains uncertain for the Fülöp family and many others in Parajd.
