<Oh!
Click> The fourth search term is 'rescue grandmother who lived with 3 tons of garbage'.
Garbage is piled up like a mountain inside the house.
I can't even see where to step.
This is an officetel in Mapo-gu, Seoul where A, a woman in her 60s with a physical disability, lived.
Mr. A has been living alone without a guardian for about 30 years.
She recently had a fall accident, and as her movement became more difficult, she was unable to clean the house and she called 911 and the community center for help.
Rescuers arrived, but they said they had a hard time entering the garbage piled up to the height of an adult's waist.
After moving Mr. A to the hospital, cleaning work was carried out, and she came out with 40 75L pay-as-you-go bags and about 3 tons of garbage.
Based on the expiration date written on her trash, it is estimated that Mr. A must have lived in the trash for at least 5 years.
She helped her with medical expenses and applied for basic livelihood benefits at the ward office, and after Mr. A finished her treatment, she was able to stay in a clean house.
