A mother-of-two has said she has been left "homeless" following a fire at New Lodge Flats last week.
Aoife O'Reilly said she has been forced to sleep on an aunt's sofa and borrow money for a hotel while her children, aged four and one, have been separated to find beds with different family members since the blaze in the early hours of Friday.
Having declined an offer from the Housing Executive of accommodation in Divis due to travel times to her four-year-old's North Belfast nursery, along with concerns about anti-social behaviour, she told Belfast Live: "We're homeless and we have nothing".
