  • As blue dawn light brightens to become another wintry day in south London  a commuter awaits the arrival of a distant red bus to climb a slippery hill. Standing by the timetable of the bus stop on Red Post Hill  in the borough of Southwark  traffic approaches slowly on a road that controversially  appears not to have been gritted properly for vehicles to maintain a proper grip on this snowy surface. Headlights point uphill and the freshly-fallen snow has started to freeze so wheel and tyre traction will prove ever-difficult for those trying to journey to work.

  • Asian tourists struggle with smartphone technology while outside Selfridges on Oxford Street on a bright day in central London. Concentrating on their screens in the middle of the chaos of this busy shopping street, the visitors to the capital look frustrated and cross with their apps or messaging. One has the look of an angry consumer of electronics - possibly about to throw his handset across the road. Others walk past unaware of the reaction, preferring instead to pass-by.

Most important government buildings have been destroyed including the Palace, Law courts, 87 percent of schools, even prisons leaving  the country with no means to govern. ."I am a steel worker by trade but right now I'm here recovering the bodies from the tax office. We use plastic gloves and put them in plastic body bags. It's not a nice job, the smell almost kills me. I have to drink to get through but I know I am helping the families. The parents are waiting for me each time I pull a body out so they can identify it. They buy me my rum.  I have pulled out one body today but twenty-five in total."

  • Pierre Yves Jovin, 56, Morgue Manager, Central hospital, Port Au Prince. Pierre has worked at the morgue for 27 years. He is the manager in charge. He is standing in front of the cold stores each of which hold about 60 bodies. Relatives are still coming to see if they can identify their loved ones such is the need to know if their families are just missing or dead.  People are searching high and low for loved ones even knowing that the chances of finding them dead or alive must be miniscule when so many have been cleared into mass graves or burnt where they lay. "After the earthquake, all the bodies were piled outside this morgue. There was a huge pile of two to three thousand and inside there were bodies piled up to the ceiling.  Every time the earth trembled, the after-shocks caused the bodies to move and I could smell the dead"

  • Leaving footprints, a Bedouin walks away into desert sand dunes at al-Galamun, near Dahkla Oasis, Western Desert, Egypt. The past few decades have been difficult for traditional Bedouin culture due to changing surroundings and the establishment of new resort towns on the Red Sea coast, such as Sharm el-Sheikh. Bedouins in Egypt are facing a number of challenges: erosion of traditional values, unemployment, and various land issues. The Western Desert covers an area of some 700,000 km2, thereby accounting for around two-thirds of Egypt's total land area. Dakhla Oasis is one of the seven oases of Egypt's Western Desert (part of the Libyan Desert). It lies in the New Valley Governorate, 350 km (220 mi.) and measures approximately 80 km (50 mi) from east to west and 25 km (16 mi) from north to south. (

But a common problem is that charity donors leave unwanted things outside in the street, for others to come and rifle through, leaving a mess that's difficult for volunteers to clean up.
