Description
Rosa Romero never thought she'd be evicted from her modest beach house on El Salvador's coast. But a real estate and tourism boom, byproduct of President Nayib Bukele's controversial war on gangs, has left her fearing for her family's future. "My children and I are all worried because a woman has come claiming to be the owner of the land and has sued me to evict me from my property," says the 41-year-old mother of four. Romero's is one of 625 families in the area at risk of being forced out by gentrification, according to an NGO that supports those affected. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
