Saida is gently moving among the remains of houses and roads in what until one year ago was a lively neighborhood in the Balaroa district. Although a year has passed since the earthquake, most of it remains untouched.
- After the earthquake, I've actually only been back here twice. I would never want to settle here again. Not even if I got a house for free would I come back here. Not after what happened, she says, looking out over a field of house debris.
A large number of personal property remains among the remains. Shoes, bags and jackets mixed with household utensils, plates and glasses.
Saida's district of Balaroa was hit by a geological phenomenon called an equilibrium during the earthquake. This means that solid soil that contains a lot of water beforehand suddenly turns into clay.
When the liquidation occurred, houses, cars and people in the clay fell.
- I saw my neighbors being thrown down as the ground opened. Many of them still remain here below. I will never forget what happened, says Saida.
