A family, who lost their home due to Typhoon Durian, eat in an evacuation centre in Banyag village, Albay province, central Philippines, December 24, 2006. The typhoon killed more than 1,000 people when its high winds and rains sent tonnes of mud and water crashing from Mount Mayon, the country's most active volcano, onto nearby villages in the Bicol region last month.
