How an entire community are doing everything they can to help victims of the Morriston, Swansea, explosion

A tight-knit Swansea community are pulling together to do their bit to help the victims of a devastating explosion which left one person dead and three others in hospital. Investigations are ongoing today into the cause of the incident at a property in Clydach Road, Morriston, which also damaged other houses in the area

Morriston Hospital said two adults and a child were brought to A&E after neighbours said they saw a boy being pulled from the rubble. Today, the road remains closed and traffic is being diverted amid "concerns over the gas main which is currently being made safe by contactors on site. The clean up operation has begun, and JCBs are shovelling piles of rubble onto the back of vans to be removed from the area.

The explosion, which took place at around 11.20am on Monday, March 13, has left people living nearby in shock at the tragedy on their doorsteps. Many in the community have now come together to do their bit to help those affected by the incident, with those efforts starting almost immediately after the incident.
