Description
In a makeshift camp in Dili, a displaced East Timorese man carries a sick child in a sling. Young children, including one child holding an old telephone receiver and cord, are standing near the man. Many locals were displaced as the result of the violence which followed the announcement of the pro-independence ballot result in September 1999. The pro-Indonesian militia launched a campaign of arson, murder and destruction.
