Elderly woman living without heating or hot water 'may not survive winter'

An elderly woman living alone in a squalid house 'may not survive winter' as she only has a small electric heater to keep her warm. Equally as concerning, the lady called Irene is surviving solely on slices of toast.

A set of pictures show the sad and worrying conditions Irene is living in. . One picture shows the tiny electric heater she uses to try and heat her entire home after her gas supply was isolated.
