Thus, it is also difficult to contact the people living in this area. On the right top, you can see a tree leaning, throughout the whole concerning area trees, big poles holding the powerlines, ships, cars, etc. are blocking of ways or even keeping people away from the daylight and causing them to die because no one can find them. All these elements can be found in this picture.
This place, what used to be a street with houses along its sides, has now completely turned into a big mess of wood, cardboard, plastic, trees, cars and people running around.
