Fire victims

Description

"Several children and adults were homeless last night after a fire completely destroyed the shacks they live in on government lands at 28 ½ Greenwich Park Road. In the foreground, burnt and twisted metal is that remains of the zinc roofs, the fences and the pans. The people who lived there now have only the clothes on their backs."
