Benin floods aftermath

A child sits on the ground in a spontaneous settlement near the village of Kpoto, Benin on Tuesday October 26, 2010. About 1500 people have settled here after their village was almost entirely destroyed by floods that have hit Benin over the past few weeks. Almost all of the village's 1500 people have moved to a location near the local church, located about 500 meters away, where they now live in basic shelters.
