S. Philippines faces food insecurity after floods

World Food Programme has said. The waters have now subsided considerably. But U.N. agencies are also worried about living conditions for tens of thousands who remain in evacuation centres with few or no health and sanitation facilities. More than half a million people in Cotabato City and Maguindanao Province on the southern island of Mindanao have been caught up in flash floods that occurred last month. Thousands of hectares of rice and corn have been damaged. “WFP is concerned about the long-term food security implications for those farmers whose crops have been devastated by floods, particularly since some of the damaged crops were due to be harvested in September,” Marcus Prior, WFP’s Bangkok-based regional spokesperson, told AlertNet.

The collection gives the impression that the 15 members of the jury truly strived to create an objective mosaic out of the submitted works. Global Voices · Les revues de blogs du monde entier.
