Earthquake Aftermath 🇻🇪 [ENG|ESP]
Earthquake Aftermath
​After finally managing to reach my family abroad a day after the disaster, I decided to head out with my friend to see the state of the city following the tremors. I think the most impactful thing about going through the city in situations like these is stopping to talk to everyone you know and hearing their experiences with such a terrible event. We found a man training completely alone in a calisthenics park. On the day of the earthquake, he had to abandon his motorcycle because it wouldn't start—it seems the shaking itself damaged some internal mechanism. After leaving it behind, he ran to find his mother at her home; she is over 80 years old and suffers from Alzheimer’s and blood pressure issues. That day was pure madness: ambulances and police vehicles everywhere, people passing out in the streets, and chaos all around.
​But today, everything held a very strange sense of peace. There was almost no one on the streets, and I was able to photograph the places that sustained damage from the earthquake. Fortunately, there were no fatalities in my city, but in other parts of the country, everything was devastated, many people lost their lives, and others are still under the rubble waiting to be rescued as I write this.
Personally, I find it very frustrating to only be able to photograph the damage in the city where I live without being able to help those who are fighting to survive in other places.
​Hace poco, mi paÃs fue azotado por dos terremotos. He pasado todos estos dÃas pendiente de mis amigos y conocidos, enfrentando muchas dificultades por las fallas en el sistema eléctrico y estando totalmente incomunicado, ya que no habÃa señal de nada.
​Luego de poder comunicarme con mis familiares en el extranjero, un dÃa después del desastre, decidà ir con mi amigo para ver cómo se encontraba la ciudad tras el sismo. Creo que lo más impactante de recorrer la ciudad en situaciones como estas es detenerte a hablar con cada uno de tus conocidos y escuchar sus experiencias sobre este evento tan terrible. Encontramos a un hombre entrenando completamente solo en un parque de barras. El dÃa del terremoto tuvo que abandonar su moto, la cual no encendÃa; parece que el mismo temblor dañó algún mecanismo interno. Después de dejarla tirada, salió corriendo a buscar a su mamá a su casa, una mujer mayor de 80 años que sufre de Alzheimer y tiene problemas de tensión. Aquel dÃa era una locura: ambulancias y vehÃculos de la policÃa, gente desmayada en las calles y caos por todos lados.
​Hoy, sin embargo, todo conservaba una paz muy extraña. Casi no habÃa nadie en las calles y pude fotografiar los lugares que presentaron daños por el terremoto. Afortunadamente, en mi ciudad no hubo vÃctimas fatales, pero en otras partes de mi paÃs todo quedó devastado: muchas personas murieron y otras están bajo escombros esperando a ser rescatadas mientras escribo esto.
En mi caso, me resulta muy frustrante solo poder fotografiar los daños de la ciudad en la que vivo, sin poder ayudar a la gente que está luchando por sobrevivir en otros lugares.
