Afterquake in Ecuador

2016/10/10 – Bahia de Caráquez, Ecuador: Narcisa Mera, 53, leaving her improvised kitchen in Sucre Park, the central square in Bahia de Caráquez, Ecuador, 10th October 2016. Narcisa refuses to move to a shelter provided by the Government, because she is afraid that thieves can steal the few belongings she possesses. She claims that shelters are filled with some bad people and she can’t protect her things and her grandchildren. Instead, she prefers to live in the Park in front of her former house that was destroyed by the 16th April earthquake with another 30 families. (Eduardo Leal)
