MONGOLIA. Ulaan Baatar. Otguntugs (left) the father and Ounsuren (right) the mother, wait for a local market to open so that they can buy vodka early in the morning. As the global financial crisis grips Asia, Mongolia is feeling the implications first hand as the country suffers from rising inflation pushing the price of food and fuel ever upwards. For the country’s homeless, who live in sewers and abandoned garages in the capital and already face extreme discrimination and are denied access to basic health and social care, their lives are hanging in the balance. 2008
