Paraplegic, Samah has to drag herself “step by step” over two floors to get home. The 42-year-old Courneuvienne had no choice but to crawl to access her apartment.

With the help of her little sister, 28, she climbs the stairs with difficulty, and putting herself in danger, to the 2nd floor. “We knock on every possible door but we don't get a positive answer,” says Samah's sister Chaïma.
