One email sent in 2020 said: 'Kitchen… damp is really bad… I have a kid and my wife, she pregnant. I need further movement please.' Throughout this time Awaab's health continued to decline, and he was eventually prescribed an inhaler in November 2020 after he developed a continuous cough and was struggling to breathe.

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Photos taken inside the damp and mouldy home of a toddler who died from breathing difficulties have been released at an inquest into his death.
Awaab Ishak, who died just a week after his second birthday in December 2020, had a continuous cough and couldn’t breathe through his nose in the final weeks of his life.
Images of Awaab’s home in the Ilminster block on Freehold estate of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester, show appalling mouldy conditions which his dad had been begging the housing company to resolve.
Black spores are seen on the walls and on the ceiling, completely covering parts of the home.
