Photograph of an outdoor relief distribution on a dirt road lined with tall palm trees bending in strong wind, under a pale evening sky. A woman with light hair in a green surgical-style cap and an ornate necklace stands at the front, holding a small object, beside a man in a white shirt and green cap. Several volunteers in white shirts and green caps stand behind a banner, while a crowd of villagers presses in: an older man in a sleeveless vest, a child with a braid in a floral dress, women and men in plain clothes, and a man in a red shirt at right. A metal bowl is held up among the crowd. Power lines run overhead. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person.
