Family begs to leave mouldy council flat as children hospitalised with breathing issues

A family are begging to leave mouldy council flat as their children have been hospitalised because of breathing issues. Father, Said Ali. claims the situation is getting out of control in the property and his son told him 'I can't breathe in here'.

The family currently reside in a two-bedroom apartment in Birmingham, with five children sharing a bedroom with wed bedsheets and mouldy curtains. The mother and father claim that a leak from above their home has caused wet rot in their apartment.

The pair say this has cause mould to spread throughout the property including their toilet, which is covered in fully-grown mushrooms. However, the family say they are stuck in the horrible conditions due the long wait for a new bigger council house, reports Birmingham Live.
