Temporary housing in Lota



Here is a video of a gentleman, who has kindly invited us into his home. This is a typical temporary house, which he built himself following the earthquake. It is so cramped, that most of the things have to be stored outside. The blue bin that you see in the kitchen is a typical container, which is used for storing water, fuel and garbage. Things that should not be compatible. Since HIMCE trucks are not able to go down the roads in these neighbourhoods, he has to transport this giant blue container uphill to one of the main roads.
