Description
An older man standing next to a load of logs in the city of Berlín few days after the military came into town, El Salvador. Guerrillas occupied the town for four days before the military hit the town with bombs from airplanes. Arturo Rivera y Damas, the San Salvador acting bishop of the time, announced a few days after the attack that a church count showed more than 300 people (mostly civilians, and few Salvadoran soldiers and rebels) had died during that week of February. Un hombre mayor está parado junto a una carga de leña en la ciudad de Berlín, El Salvador, pocos días después de que los militares llegaron.
