In the troubled neighborhood of Tres Mil Viviendas in Seville, residents are grappling with escalating violence and a pervasive sense of abandonment.

Recent events have seen the extraordinary become routine, with gunfire echoing through the streets, often linked to drug-related clan disputes.

A recent shootout involving assault weapons has heightened fear among locals, prompting calls for increased police presence.

The mayor of Seville, José Luis Sanz, is set to meet with government officials to address these security concerns, emphasizing the need for more National Police officers.

Meanwhile, a significant police operation involving 300 officers has led to multiple arrests, though the presence of assault weapons remains unconfirmed.

Community leaders stress the importance of coordinated efforts between government bodies to tackle not only security but also underlying issues like employment and urban development.

Despite these efforts, residents continue to feel neglected, with many expressing frustration over the lack of consistent support and intervention.
