Tacloban

Boys play at the beach in Tacloban in the aftermath of typhoon Haiyan, which devastated the Philippines in November 2013. Locally called Super Typhoon Yolanda, it was one of the strongest cyclones ever recorded, and the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 6,300 people. This image was made six months after the disaster, when most international NGOs had already left, even though a large number of the coastal communities were still living in tents or temporary shelters, without proper access to basic sanitation services.
