Tensions and buildings are still smoldering in Rakhine state in northwest Myanmar.
Firemen extinguish row after row of burned out homes and shops that were destroyed in recent ethnic and sectarian clashes between a group of Muslims, known as Rohingyas and Rakhine state Buddhists.
Relations between the two groups have always been uneasy, but the hostility flared last month after the gang rape and murder of a Buddhist woman that was blamed on the Muslims.
A group of Buddhists then killed 10 Muslims in retaliation.
For those caught in the middle, an uncertain future.
Aid workers say nearly 30,000 people - both Buddhist and Muslim-- are without food and shelter after fleeing the violence.
Although help is slowly trickling in, relief workers say more donations are desperately needed.
The violence, some of Myanmar's worst in years, is a major setback for the rapidly reforming country after 49 years of military rule.
