Flood victims line up to get food and clothes at a village in Rodriguez, Rizal province, the Philippines, on September 30, 2009. Kestana, locally known as Ondoy, swept through the central Luzon region a couple of days ago. The epic rainfall brought by the storm caused massive flooding and landslides. 246 people were killed, 42 remain missing while nearly 700,000 people fled their flooded homes to stay in either evacuation centers or with host families.[Luis Liwanag/Xinhua] |
