09:04I don't even know how to get out of the tent, because of all the water and all of this.

09:08No one is looking for me.

09:09We hope that they look for us in the camps and in the tents.

09:13There are people in the streets, which is better than nothing.

09:16But everyone is empty.

09:19I don't know. I live. I live.

09:21Like these people, unfortunately.

09:25Like the animals that don't live, we live.

09:27We get our food from here, from here, from here.

09:30But what can we do? This is what we have.

09:32We need tents. We need a place with water.

09:35The sun doesn't come up. We dry up and sleep.

09:38I don't know how to sleep here in the tents.

09:40I want to find a good tent.

09:43And I'll go sleep there.
