Representatives from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) have extended their hand to help evacuees from Marawi City.

This comes as residents displaced by the Marawi siege try to produce Identification Cards (IDs) so they can return to their homes.

Most of the evacuees are currently staying in Iligan City.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) says, barangay officials must identify the people who will be allowed to set foot in their communities.

This is to prevent lawless elements and remnants of Maute terrorists to mingle with returning residents.
