00:00I don't know what to do.
00:15We live in fear of death.
00:18And you can't find an alternative.
00:20You can't find anything.
00:21No one can tell you where you are.
00:22No one can help you.
00:23No one can tell you where you are.
00:24No one can tell you anything.
00:26We are devastated.
00:29We've been through so many wars.
00:32But we haven't seen people like this before.
00:34This time, the damage is gone.
00:37We built a tent for 45 million,
00:39or 50 million.
00:40Three tents are gone.
00:42You see?
00:43We don't have anything left this time.
00:45We had a lot of stuff, but it's all gone.
00:48We went to the neighborhood,
00:50and we fixed the shed.
00:52We gathered our stuff and sat here.
00:54There's no place left.
00:55All the areas are gone.
00:57All the land people took is gone.
00:59There's nothing left.
01:01Even the sidewalk outside is gone.
01:03We've been in the cemetery for a year, two months, three months.
01:27We can't find a place to live.
01:29We can't find an alternative.
01:30The rents are high.
01:31So I had to live in the cemetery,
01:33because there's no income or material
01:35for me to work or live outside.
