Residents try to salvage recyclable materials from what used to be houses in the aftermath of a massive fire that engulfed hundreds of makeshift homes in a shanty town community in the Tondo district of Manila, Philippines, May 12.
During the fire, at least 100 people were plucked from the waters thick with ash and debris, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported.
Amazingly no deaths were reported, though at least five people were injured.
