The city is a giant ‘mille-feuille’, buildings are now multiple layers of broken concrete with people wandering the streets looking for help, food, water and family members. No way we can look away before such a big natural catastrophe, amplified by the weak infrastructure which produced such unprecedented damage, and by a catastrophic economic and social situation. We donated money and see the help… READ MORE
