Zamboanga. In a small tent between a busy highway and the cramped Cawa-Cawa shoreline, this young mother gave birth to a baby boy – eight days before this picture was taken. Jonde admits it wasn’t an easy feat, but for a member of the seafaring Badjao tribe, it wasn’t a novelty either. "Joel keeps waking as vehicles go by," she tells us.

ICRC web site - Philippines: Features of displacement 03-07-2014 Photo gallery
More than nine months after the end of the fighting between the Moro National Liberation Front and the Philippines government, over 40,000 people are still living in evacuation centres in Zamboanga. Behind these figures lie the lives that have been put on hold – the men and women who have lost their homes and livelihoods, the children and elderly people living under difficult conditions – all of them wondering when life will return to normal.
