Benin floods aftermath

Amelie Adoko, 42, two of a friend's children while sitting in a basic shelter made of palm leaves near the village of Kpoto, Benin on Wednesday October 27, 2010. Most of the village was destroyed by floods that have hit the country over the past few weeks, forcing its 1500 to flee. They now live in a makeshift camp located about 500 meters from the village. Amelie looks after a friend's children while she's gone to the market.
