MONGOLIA. Ulaan Baatar. A man lowers himself into a sewer, which he lives in with his wife and children. Underground is warmer and gives street-people th chance to escape the cold Mongolian nights. 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
