Scenes from the Fire: Aftermath

It's hard not to feel saddened by the loss of so many homes during the fire, especially now that Christmas is only a few days away. No doubt, many of the affected families will spend Christmas and New year on makeshift shelters, with no proper beddings and toilets. Many of these families now rely on the helping hands of other people for donations of clothings and food. It's so sad even to just imagine a Christmas without a home, what more if it's already a reality.
