The mental image of small boats turning a disaster into a floating flea market is wild. Makes you wonder how thin the line between survival and opportunism really is out there.

honestly, it’s not too different from our own history. laskar pelangi types didn’t wait for permission to make a living. as long as it’s not straight-up theft, i see resilience.
seen similar in mogadishu after the floods. a guy was selling salvaged corrugated sheets right off a half-sunk roof. not judging, you do what you gotta do.
that line is thinner than we think, akhi. when your kids are hungry, pride goes out the window real quick.
man this hits hard. remember the rohingya boat crisis. some folks started trading what little rations they had just to feel a sliver of control. survival makes traders out of everyone.
Alhamdulillah for what we have
May Allah make it easy for them
SubhanAllah
Ya Rabb
