- Description
- We see several clusters of people – adults and children - on the grounds of a low-lying building that is closed and the windows shuttered. Although it is difficult to see clearly, the people next to the house look particularly impoverished. One group closest to the camera appears to be a family, with the mother talking or playing with her young son while another person lies next to them. Most likely all of these people have come from the countryside without relatives in the city or a place to stay, and have found this location as a temporary refuge. A woman, perhaps a resident of that neighborhood, walks by.
