Description :
The ICRC provides rice, cooking oil, soap and tarpaulin sheets to tens of thousands of people displaced by the fighting in the southern Philippines. Here, on the island of Mindanao, two men cross a frequently flooded section of road carrying much-needed food supplies for which they had waited for hours in blistering heat. After heavy rain, this dirt road to an evacuation centre can become virtually impassable, isolating desperately needy civilians.
