Ruth Jane Sombrio is helped by a man with her packed bags at an undisclosed location, moments before they head to the seaport to leave by ferry to the province, in Manila, Philippines, March 31, 2017. President Rodrigo Duterte's war against drugs have not only killed thousands, but have also displaced many Filipinoseither out of fear or to seek justice for a slain relativeproof that the drug war has caused widespread effects in society. Ruth Jane Sombrio was widowed half a year ago when policemen shot dead her husband Rogie Sebastian in what police say was a drug sting operation. A police report indicates Rogie was killed after he pulled out his gun and got into a shootout with undercover police officers. But Ruth Jane tells a different story: there was no police operation and Rogie was defenseless when armed plainclothes policemen entered their one-room shanty and shot him dead. Ruth Jane's neighbors have advised against filling a formal complaint, lest Rogie's killers come back for her. Following Rogie's death, Ruth Jane spent months hiding in different nearby places out of fear for her life and that of her young children, before she finally decided to ride a ferry to the province to make a fresh start amidst an uncertain future. Luzviminda Siapo was working as a domestic helper in Kuwait when back home, armed men kidnapped and shot dead her son Raymart, a day after a neighbor had complained to village watchmen that Raymart was selling drugs. Raymart couldn't run from his captors even if he wanted tohe was born with bilateral club foot. Luzviminda's employer allowed her to go home, but not without kneeling and kissing her employer's feet. Back home, Luzviminda questioned village and police officials how armed bonnet-clad men chose to target her son just a day after a neighbor filled a complaint on the village blotter. Following Raymart's burial, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald Dela Rosa instructed police to solve Raymart's killing. Despite this, just

Only curtains separate the rooms in between them. There is no real doors inside the bunker. Last 12 and 15 of April 2015, with the help of Tomas Vlach, emergency coordinator for the NGO "People in Need", NurPhoto photographer visited families living in old cold war bunkers in the city of Marinka and Petrovsky - Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. They live there for two reasons: either their houses got demolished or damaged by the fighting in between Ukrainian army and the separatists. Or, they are just afraid, traumatize by the constant sound of the mortars, bombs, automatic weapons, etc so they prefer to abandoned their home and find refuge in these old underground concrete constructions. Most of the families began abandoning their houses last august as the battle between the protagonists was extremely intensive. These bunkers are located in the separatists control zone so access for humanitarian organizations is possible but very difficult to organize in a war area. Some of the bunkers have electricity but most of them don't have any water system. So either humanitarian organization bring bottles of water or they run during the day to their houses to fill-up bottle. The walls of the bunkers have no finish on it so, a constant white dust from the cement is lying on beds, tables, or raise-up when you walk even if the families do their best to clean it up. Since end of cold war, these bunkers are not in use so the owners (coal mines, municipality, etc.) tolerate these squatters for humanitarian reasons. Most of the mothers of family admit that they are alone with their kids, that they are either divorce, widow or the husband simply went away when the conflict began so abandoning families to its own fate. These families received close to nothing from municipalities. Sometimes, soldiers stop by and give them some of their foods. NGO "People in Need", visits them as often they can to have a clear vision of their needs but also provide them with foods, clothes, medications, etc.
