Zamboanga Evacuation Centers Face Health Crisis As Death Toll Reaches 138

ZAMBOANGA, PHILIPPINES - AUGUST 30: Teenagers staying along the shore play basketball outside an overcrowded sports complex that has been used as a refuge facility for civilians displaced since September 9, 2013 following an urban fighting involving soldiers and Muslim rebels weeks after Nur Misuari, the leader and founder of the Moro National Liberation Front, declared independence of Mindanao and occupied the city, on August 30, 2014 in Zamboanga, Philippines. Health officials have confirmed around 138 deaths in the city's refuge center. Nearly a year after that incident, more than 64,000 people remain displaced from their homes, living in difficult conditions. Government forces have tightened the security as Misuari reiterated recently his declaration of Mindanaos independence which complicates the ongoing peace talk with another rebel group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
