I don't know how to say it other than I'm amazed. Such a tiny "house" for 7
people let alone another adult.
Apparently they didn't have the nous to dig a drain to divert seep-water away
from the floor.
Your determination to get good photos deserves a medal.
The only aspect that I can imagine (other than disease) to make it worse is if
it were also very cold. But I suppose it never really gets cold there.
That photo raises more questions that I probably cannot ask ...
I'm still amazed. (Lateral thinking - it would have been a lot worse in the
Trenches in the Allied Front in Belgium, in WW One. And those guys had
NO choice.)
