Description
A woman on a mule goes through the ruins of Berlin, El Salvador after the bombing. Other residents, women, children and men walk also in the streets of the town. 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. Una mujer recorre en una mula las ruinas de Berlín después del atentado, El Salvador. Otros residentes, mujeres, niños y hombres también caminan por las calles de la ciudad. Los guerrilleros ocuparon la ciudad durante cuatro días antes de que los militares golpearan la ciudad con cohetes desde aviones. Arturo Rivera y Damas, el obispo en funciones de San Salvador de la época, denunció pocos días después de la destrucción que un recuento de iglesias mostró que más de 300 personas (en su mayoría civiles, y pocos soldados y rebeldes salvadoreños) habían muerto durante esa semana de febrero.
