A Filipino woman hangs her soaked belongings on a washing line as flash floods hit the Southern Philippines, on June 2, in Sultan Kudart in Maguindanao Province, Philippines. Over 47,000 people have been displaced as a result of the flooding which have hit ten low-lying towns in the South. Aid and rescue operations have criticised the government for failing to address the problem; this being the third annual rainy season where flooding has had catastrophic effects.
