Photo taken in the refugee field of Feira, Lobito, 1993,during the civil war.

"sadness and despair"...

This shocking images are unfortunately seen in this type of situations.

Hunger,poor sanitary conditions and disease are major keys for tragedy.

War,political disorders, and natural catastrophes,like what are happening at the moment in Mianmar, are major reasons to reach this situations.

Olá José
May 11, is Mother's day (...).
As pessoas destas fotos nunca tiveram esse luxo de dias disto e daquilo. A simples sobrevivência era mais importante.
Um abraço,
F

Mother's Day in some parts of Africa takes on a different meaning than in other parts of the world...

It's hard to celebrate this magnificent occasion seeing innumerable children's faces dying of starvation because of total incapability of their mothers to feed...
Shall we celebrate a motherly love for those millions of motionless figures holding those swollen from hunger bodies of their children...
Since the beginning of times...
Always ..! Forever (?)...

Sad day for some...

salute, Jose

Bonsoir josé, une photo si difficile à regarder mais tu as raison de nous la montrer, il ne faut pas oublier tous ces enfants qui meurent de faim, partout dans le monde...impressionnante la folie des hommes qui se battent pour un lopin de terre ou pour de l'argent, sans s'occuper des humains.. MERCI POUR CETTE IMAGE
Amitiés
francine
