Cyclone relief food distribution on a roadside beside palm trees. A crowd of men and boys presses toward a blue-and-yellow vehicle and a food cart, where workers in white caps and hairnets serve rice from steel pots and cooking pans onto paper plates. A man in a white shirt and blue-striped cap stands on the truck, a bearded man in a white dhoti and gloves serves at the front, and a man in a pink headcloth and light shirt holds out a paper plate at right. An orange flag hangs from the truck, and yellow sacks are stacked behind the vehicle.
