“We feel bad about your loss, and nice to see you living in this temporary shelter, but we realize that this is not the permanent solution. So we will discuss how UN-Habitat can help people in difficult situation like you in future” said Mr. Fukasawa. He also he visited a family (Mr Ramesh, his wife and son who just started his school) living in his temporary shelter.
