Hundreds of newly displaced families in this small village in Chin State wait hopefully for relief in temporary shelters after a landslide wiped away their homes and belongings. Situated in the remote state’s Tonzang Township, just under three hours by car from Kale, the town has suffered greatly since severe floods struck the state in late July and early August. Weeks after major rains subsided, Hakha Lay remains in danger of landslides.
