RESCUE AIDS SLOWLY REACHING PHILIPPINES (453 hits)
YOUR WORLD NEWS DAY 14 NOVEMBER 2013 Tacloban, Philippines
After days of waiting and long hours, many of the indigent left from the Haiyan storm awaits the arrival of fleets of shipments to bring necessary food and water. In the past few days hundreds have suffered from the impact of the devastation. Without many places to go many people there are trapped in endless mounds of debris and still covered deceased bodies. Two large fleets from the United States arrived on November 13, 2012 and unloaded shipments to be given out as soon as possible. The regions storm victims have many living in out-doors and or home made shelters and hundreds wait at airports to flee or wait for incoming distributions of supplies. Everything from medical to food supplies and water are in high demand. There were some looting in some areas, and at least 8 people were killed as a rice warehouse roof fell while some escaped from harm. Around the world millions are collecting and sending need materials, but the delivery is slow because of the difficulty in routes available to the people. Although, many are fearing starvation and outbreak of sickness there is hope that rescue missions will assist cries of isolation.
