After the breakdown of the Mindanao peace process during August and September 2008, a new round of armed conflict began. The United Nations claims that around 500,000 persons - Christians and Muslims - including at least 300,000 infants and children were displaced from their homes without the basic necessities of life. In urgent response, in mid-September Asia America Initiative conducted an emergency humanitarian relief mission. We visited refugee camps and war-torn communities in provinces such as Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur and North Cotabato. In mid-October AAI's Rohaniza Sumndad traveled back to Mindanao to partner with Operation Blessing, Philippines to conduct Post-Traumatic Stress Counselors Training for humanitarian workers, local officials, religious leaders, non-governmental organizations and student peace advocates in support of the refugees and community members who have experienced war, terror and displacement.
