ICRC gives returnees access to healthcare, potable water

Thousands of displaced Marawi City residents started their journey home early this week, several days after the official declaration of an end to armed clashes between government forces and the Islamic State-inspired Maute Group.

Around 65 villages sustained minimum to medium damage in the five-month conflict and more than half of Marawi’s estimated 200,000 population will be returning to what is left of their homes.
