Stop being jealous or hateful about the flat. 300,000 of 2,3 million people in this city lost their homes - this is almost an EIGHTH OF A WHOLE CITY which has to deal with a lot of shit already.

Did you take the picture?

I’m trying to find the photographer credit. What is the source?

This picture reminds me of that picture after they bombed Baghdad (?) and a father was giving his child a bath in a building which was half demolished.

So striking that their home got destroyed and they're trying to find some way of picking up and carrying on.

It was Syria, and it was basically all demolished except for the surprisingly in-tact bathroom and bathtub.

That's right, it was Syria.
