No official word on compensation for destroyed belongings

More than a month has passed since a massive fire tore through the 67-storey Marina Pinnacle Tower in Dubai, but for many former residents, the ordeal is far from over.

Amal, who lived on the 65th floor with his parents, still returns to the now-closed building every week.

“I had been living there for the past 15 years. I go back once a week just to get some stuff out,” he said, noting that even now, tenants continue to wander through the remains of their homes, searching for anything left behind.
