Muslim women hold rice coupons while waiting for relief goods to be distributed by the World Food Programme (WFP) at an evacuation camp in Maguindanao province in southern Philippines July 2, 2009. Fighting has escalated in the oil and gas-rich marshlands in Mindanao in the last two months, forcing nearly 350,000 people to flee from their homes and farms and pushing back peace talks with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) stalled since August 2008.
