This picture depicts a scene in an area being hit by a natural disaster, flood. this can be seen as all the place wherethe people are in are surrounded with water. From their skin colour, I suppose that they are africans. Base on the areaand the cloths that the people are wearing, i can tell that their family are not very well of.
The little boy in grey seem to be crying as I can see from his facial expression. He might be afraid as the flood hasreached his height and therefore, he is unable to stand in the water. But fortunately, I suppose, his releative or maybehis father is taking care of him. As the boy is still young, he needs someone to look after him or else he will just be drowned to death or die of hunger if he cannot find food in order to survive. The two of them might be looking for some safe places to rest or a dry area, awating for the rescue workers to arrive.
The man behing should also either be a relative of the man and the little boy or a fellow villager whose village has been struck my the flood. He seemed to be also heading along the same way as the man and the little boy. He is also carrying some things on his back. I suppose they are some food so that he can eat while awaiting for the rescue workers to arrive.
Upon looking at this picture, I feel very fortunate that I am able to live in Singapore. Singapore is situated in a good geographical location which is not prone to lots of natural disasters. That is why Singapore is not often hit by natural disasters. Although so, Singaporeans should not take for granted. We should help those people out there whose country is being hit by all the natural disasters.
