The “heart-breaking” death of a two-year-old boy who lived in a housing association flat comes amid a “dramatic increase” in cases of damp and mould, the Housing Ombudsman has said.
Awaab Ishak, two, died in December 2020 from a respiratory condition caused by mould in the one-bedroom housing association flat where he lived with parents, Faisal Abdullah and Aisha Amin, in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
