After Balkhu’s demolition, families have nowhere to go

Squatter families scour the debris of their homes for belongings. Promised aid has yet to materialise.

In Balkhu, Mandira crouches in the rubble. Just two days ago, her home stood here. Now, she searches for clothing for her 10-year-old son and five-year-old daughter. They, like many families, did not have time to take everything from their home before the bulldozers arrived on Friday.
