VOICED: Quake city residents take clean-up into their own hands

Following a devastating earthquake, the community of Aquila is actively involved in clearing debris and rebuilding their city. Frustrated by the slow pace of official efforts, residents have initiated the 'wheelbarrow revolution' to manually clear rubble. While some buildings have been restored, parts of the city remain inaccessible. Many oppose the government's use of bulldozers, preferring to preserve historical materials. The timing of official cleanup efforts, coinciding with regional elections, has led to accusations of opportunism. Citizens are advocating for a role in the reconstruction process, aiming for both physical and socio-economic recovery. Despite challenges, the community remains committed to restoring the city to its former glory.
