Pop Day 5

Nelly Ariola, 28, pregnant with her fifth child, looks down at the casket of her son Kelly in Manila. She and her husband walked more than a mile to a government hospital after the infant fell ill, apparently with pneumonia brought on by malnutrition. The couple could not afford transport to the hospital and, after he died, were struggling to come up with the money to bury him.
