This image depicts a wide view of a waterfront settlement in Iwaya, Nigeria, characterized by significant structural damage and debris under a hazy sky. In the foreground, dark, rippled water occupies the lower quarter of the frame. Two wooden boats are partially visible on the water: one, a light brown hull, is mostly out of frame at the very bottom, and another, a prominent dark wooden canoe with a blue trim along its top edge, is positioned in the lower-middle, containing a yellow plastic bottle and a green sack. The midground reveals a vast, densely packed area of land lined with numerous dilapidated structures. These structures appear to be shanties or makeshift dwellings constructed from various materials like corrugated metal and wood. Many are in states of disrepair, appearing partially collapsed, broken, or possibly burnt, with exposed wooden frames and scattered debris. Piles of dirt and rubble are distributed throughout this area. Several upright wooden poles are visible, possibly remnants of structures or markers. At least two other wooden boats are present on the land amidst the wreckage. Several small human figures are sparsely distributed within the settlement; one individual in a pink or red garment is clearly discernible standing amidst debris on the right side of the frame. The background features a hazy sky with scattered white clouds, extending across the upper portion of the image. Through the atmospheric haze, a distant cityscape with taller buildings and industrial elements, including power lines and towers, is faintly visible on the horizon, contrasting with the foreground settlement.
