Awaiting Aid

Uploaded: February 17, 2012

Description

Displaced people from the disputed region of Abyei between Sudan and South Sudan await their names being read from a list. When on a list, humanitarian assistance becomes available. A hundred thousand people fled Abyei in May 2011, after fighting broke out. Many of them had to overnight in the open air, without any facilities.

Superb photojournalistic capture, Aernout... the guys sitting on the back wall are a wonderful part of your overall framing and I love that you chose to render it in B&W. #1444502
