As the days turn into weeks, the situation in Donghae becomes increasingly complicated. The government's announcement of a new shelter has sparked a massive influx of civilians from all over the region, desperate for a chance at safety and security.
Every day, more and more people arrive at the shelter, their faces etched with a mix of tentative hope and deep desperation. They come from all walks of life - families with young children clinging to their parents' hands, elderly couples supporting each other as they shuffle forward, and lone survivors with haunted eyes who have lost everything and everyone they ever cared about.
The numbers are staggering, far beyond anything we could have anticipated. It's as if a great floodgate has been opened, unleashing a veritable tide of battered humanity that threatens to overwhelm the city and its limited resources.
