130,000 flee Philippines fighting

FIGHTING between rebel Muslims and troops in the southern Philippines has forced about 130,000 people to flee their homes, the Government says.

The National Disaster Co-ordinating Council (NDCC) said 129,819 people had been displaced from 42 villages in North Cotabato province since the fighting began last week.

This story hardly makes a blip outside the Asia-Pacific region.
