A standing figure in an orange saffron robe and matching orange head wrap stands under a open-sided corrugated roof shelter, with a bamboo rope fence nearby. Seated in the foreground are several people: a man with a bare upper body and a woman with her hair in a bun wearing a plaid cloth, viewed from behind. A striped blue and green canopy stretches at left, with palm fronds and a tree visible outside. The setting resembles a relief camp, with a cyclone-damaged landscape behind. The standing figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though it is uncertain from the image alone.
