Outdoor relief distribution in a village street during cyclone relief work. Several volunteers stand on the back of a yellow-and-green painted truck, handing out food from large containers. Two women in green head coverings and white garments, one in pink headwrap and white clothing, and a woman in a yellow-and-orange sari with gold bangles and a beaded necklace work on the truck bed. Below, a crowd reaches upward with steel bowls and plates. Among them a woman in a yellow sari, a girl in red, a woman in a patterned blue sari, and a man in a white shirt wearing a white hairnet stand near the truck. A man in a red-and-white turban at right holds stacked plastic containers. Small children are visible at the lower edge. Palm fronds and a concrete wall frame the scene.
