Description
Destroyed cars amid ruins in the city of Berlín, 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.
Unos autos destruidos en medio de ruinas en la ciudad de Berlín, El Salvador. Los guerrilleros ocuparon la ciudad durante cuatro días antes de que los militares atacaran la ciudad con bombas en un ataque aéreo. Arturo Rivera y Damas, el obispo en funciones de San Salvador de esa época, denunció pocos días después la destrucción en un encuentro de la iglesia y mostró que más de 300 personas (en su mayoría civiles, y pocos soldados y rebeldes salvadoreños) habían muerto durante esa semana de febrero.
