Disaster Relief Testimonial2

English

Nerland's house was not damaged and her family is alive. Nerland says everyone in her neighborhood is calm except during the aftershocks. They are all sleeping on the streets, because the buildings may collapse at any moment because of poor construction. There is zero presence of any UN or aid relief to her neighborhood, and they are running out of water. Families cluster together in a semi-organized fashion, and the neighborhoods have formed loose governments that communicate internally and with other neighborhoods. The strong young men have formed brigades to patrol the streets, as there are robbers raiding homes.
