These photos are an attempt to depict some of the damage
and effects of the bombs on the surroundings. It must
however be said that the photos come nowhere close to
portraying the true damage caused by these bombs. Please
remember the Sudanese who suffer these and other hardships
- those to whom coping with these kind of situations
is a way of life. |
