Are we ready? How-- What was it like, ask her what was it like to live in the tunnels here?

What was life like in the tunnel?

It was because the Americans bombed our village that I had to live in the tunnel and gave birth to my son there.

How long did they have to live here?

How long did you live down there?

I lived down there for two months continuously to give birth to my child.

You can start.

I had to give birth to my child in the tunnel because the Americans were bombing and shelling this area, creating much destruction and suffering. A day after I gave birth to my child, the bombers came and poured down their bombs. I had to carry my child and ran away.

There was no food to eat and nothing to drink. There was a lot of suffering and hardship. My house had been bombed down. So I had to give birth in the tunnel and had to remain there for two months. There was little food to eat, no clothes to wear, no firewood to cook with, and little water to drink. All day I had to run in and out of the tunnel to try to get a little water for my child. This shows you how criminal the Americans were.

We can do it again.

[Untranslated speech]

Hang on. Stop, stop. Sorry.

You can start.

Because the Americans had destroyed everything, there was nothing left for me to feed my children. So I brought my children here to this tunnel and then gave birth to my baby. There was little food to eat and little water to drink.

Two days after I gave birth to my child I had to carry it and ran in the dark in this tunnel to another tunnel. It is difficult for me to describe all the crimes committed by the Americans. I still feel very outraged by the whole thing.

The Americans were very cruel. The yearly average at that time was more than 500 tons of bombs. It was very difficult to sneak out of the tunnel to get some water to drink. So my child cried all the time. The hardship that my baby had to go through makes me feel angry at the Americans even now. I don’t know when this anger will go away.

Were they able to grow any food or catch any fish during that period?

Please tell us a little more about life inside the tunnel. For example, at night you lived down here, but during the day you went out to plant things or to fish. Tell us things in your daily life like that.

At night we carried out our activities inside the tunnel. During the day, I sneaked out to try to gather some vegetables and catch some mussels or clams to feed my children with. I also fished during the day and gathered firewood. It was a very hard life.

I still feel outraged at what the Americans did to us. They came with the bombs and poured these bombs down on us. Even so, I had to weave my way around, working and fishing in order to get something to feed my children.

The Americans bombed this area three or four times a day. They bombed every day and every night. There was never a day in which there was no bombing. Even so, I had to sneak out to produce and to fish in the sea in order to feed my children. My anger at the Americans fills every space inside me. And I don’t know when I will be able to forget.

Okay, cut it. Lights on! Six only on the end. Cheers.
