The mayor's workers came with a bulldozer and knocked down walls and buildings that were close to the road or on the road. There were several buildings destroyed in the Delmas 19 area. Notice the man sitting on the floor under this unstable building.
On Saturday the mayors' workers knocked down a series of buildings on the Automeca Road off of Delmas 19. We drove by in the morning and the workers were just getting started under the protection of several swat police. We drove over there later in the afternoon and a lot of buildings were destroyed. These small houses were built on the road against walls and the government is now enforcing building codes. People are trying to salvage what they can. Here a man is carrying away some tin.
Automeca Street looks like a demolition zone.
A man is trying to salvage usable cement blocks.
This man works as a journalist and also for the Ministry of Social Affairs. He didn't want me to take this photo. Some people in the area know me and wanted me to take photos to show what happened. Late in the afternoon people were standing or sitting around not knowing where they would live. Pray for those who are poor and cannot easily find accommodations for their families.
