Description :
Roughly 300,000 people have been displaced by the fighting in the southern Philippines, between government forces and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, an armed group. A 79-year-old woman and her grandson stand in front of the home she was forced to flee in August 2008. Like many displaced persons in Mindanao, she is too frightened to return home permanently and has been living for months in a tarpaulin-covered shelter just a few miles from her abandoned village.
