Karachi, Pakistan
A group of refugees amongst a large pile of bricks and rubble. It appears that these people are sitting among the ruins of an older structure. It is unclear what that could have been. They could have been houses vacated recently by their inhabitants or an historic site. The refugees are looking for useful materials among the rubble to aid them during their stay at their makeshift camps.
This image is from the collection of F.E. Chaudhry, the only known local Pakistani photographer who captured the events at the time.
