Maria weeps at the tomb of her son Aljon Deparine, a victim of an alleged vigilante killing five years ago, before his remains are exhumed after the lease on his tomb expired at a public cemetery in Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines. Relatives witnessed as workers hammered down tombs and pulled out the unrecognizeable remains of their loved ones, who were killed five years ago during President Duterte's bloody war on drugs. The families, too poor to renew the leases on their loved-ones graves, received assistance from a Catholic charity to have the remains cremated instead.Credit:Ezra Acayan/Getty Images

Haiti migrants waiting in Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña to get access to the United States, cross the Rio Grande toward Ciudad Acuña to get supplies in Ciudad Acuña, Mexico. Haitians crossed the Rio Grande freely and in a steady stream, going back and forth between the U.S. and Mexico through knee-deep water with some parents carrying small children on their shoulders. Unable to buy supplies in the U.S., they returned briefly to Mexico for food and cardboard to settle, temporarily at least, under or near the bridge in Del Rio, a city of 35,000 that has been severely strained by migrant flows in recent months.Credit:Marie D.
