The ongoing conflict in Mindanao has displaced over 200,000 people. Many of these families have taken refuge in temporary camps, with a lucky few being moved into longer term barracks or structures. I visited one such area, which was situated on top of a hill, which had a spectacular view but no access to water, and the land was not fit for agriculture. People had to walk a few kilometres to access clean water and some how transport it back up to the shelters in the containers you can see in the photo. Some families had managed to save their livestock, mainly chickens, but I noticed a face poking out at me from around the corner of one of the shelters; a lucky family had managed to save their goat.
