Marawi evacuees in Iligan City scramble for relief goods

A video captured a scramble for relief goods that broke out among some Marawi evacuees at an evacuation center in Iligan City.

In the video, which was featured in a report on "24 Oras Weekend," evacuees raced each other to get sacks of rice and relief packs that just arrived.

No line was formed to distribute the packages equally in an orderly fashion.

Throughout the footage taken in the basketball court, no authorities were seen calling them to order.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development has yet to speak up on the mismanagement of the goods.

It has been 104 days of ongoing clashes in Marawi City between government troops and ISIS-inspired members of the Maute group.

More than 400,000 were driven out of their homes to seek temporary shelter in evacuation centers since May 23. — Margaret Claire Layug/BM, GMA News
