Marawi braces for emerging food distribution crisis

ILIGAN CITY: The once heavily populated evacuation centers that Iligan has prepared for the residents who fled Marawi City at the start of the siege in May have now been reduced to a small community of remaining internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Out of the five major evacuation centers in Iligan, the city is now maintaining only four, according to Disaster Relief Rehabilitation Management Office (DRRMO) administrative assistant Jonah Edosma with each center having a population of not more than 250 IDP households, a sharp contrast from May to October when centers were bulging at the seams.
