This image depicts a damaged informal settlement situated on the water in Iwaya, Nigeria, under a light blue sky with scattered white cumulus clouds. The foreground and mid-ground feature dark, reflective water, on which several wooden dug-out canoes or small boats are moored. Three dark-colored boats are prominent in the mid-ground, with a fourth, lighter boat partially visible in the bottom right. The land beyond the water is densely covered with a multitude of rudimentary structures constructed from wood, corrugated metal, and tarpaulins. A significant portion of these structures appears to be destroyed or severely damaged, characterized by charred debris, collapsed frameworks, and rubble, consistent with a past fire event. Despite the widespread damage, some structures remain partially intact, and a few items of clothing are visible hanging, suggesting intermittent activity or partial habitation. No individuals are visible within the frame.
