TIME magazine has released their Top 10 photos of 2013 and making it to the list is a picture showing residents in Tolosa, Leyte holding on to religious images amid the aftermath of super typhoon Yolanda.

The photo was taken by Philippe Lopez for Agence France-Presse and Getty Images.

Here is the photo’s caption:

“It’s very stormy at this time of year in the Philippines. Clouds gathered in front of the setting sun while along the road residents lit fires to burn the debris left by the typhoon. Momentarily, the devastated landscape took on a strange beauty, and it was just then that this group of women and children appeared on the road. I think people gravitate towards this picture not only because it is visually strong and emotional, but also because, in a way, it draws on some viewers’ own faith.”

Other images in the Top 10 were from Bangladesh, Australia, Turkey, South Africa, Texas, Egypt, Syria, and USA.
