I don't understand how people cannot have sympathy here.
I have plenty for sympathy for them but the victims have to be realistic in their expectations. With all the best will in the world, suitable permanent housing cannot be conjured up from nowhere, it's going to take time.

It will be little comfort to them but I reckon that these unfortunate people are getting a hell of a lot more support than 99% of people who are the victims of serious household fires every week of every year. They will be found permanent homes and they will be compensated (to the extent that anyone can be in such awful circumstances) but it's going to take time and they regretfully have to accept that, as will the forensic process and inquiry.
