TYPHOON “HAIYAN”; HELP PHILIPPINE

TYPHOON “HAIYAN”; HELP PHILIPPINE

 

Haiyan first hit Samar and Leyte, about 600km southeast of the Philippine capital Manila, early on Friday morning. In all, it made six landfalls across the central part of the country, known as the Visayas region. A lot of people lost their homes.

On Monday, three days into the disaster, hundreds of thousands of homeless families are still left dazed, trying to absorb the enormity of the typhoon that killed thousands of people and destroyed entire villages.

After surviving the 300km per hour winds, many victims are now struggling to find food, water and medicine, with the government unable to deliver immediate help in some areas.

Rescue workers were trying to reach towns and villages on Tuesday that have been cut off, which could reveal the full extent of the loss of life and devastation from the disaster.

Here we give you an email message that Bernie sent to Margret - 

My dear Margaret,

Sorry about the delay in giving you any information. Only today I had the access to internet.

Yes, Sorsogon was affected by the typhoon but not like in Leite and other places. But our people were prepared. We too had very strong winds and rain. And sea was very rough. Our people around the coast evacuated in our Multipurpose hall.

We didn't have electricity for two days. No buses moved for Manila for two days. We were supposed to go to Manila... Luckily we didn't travel. God always protect us. Now we heard that there is another typhoon.

Typhoon affected area is terrible. Some sisters shared there experiences and they say still they don't know whether their family members are living or...very sad. I am just thinking and praying how we can support them, if they request for people to relief support... may be we can... They said some areas are really destroyed no houses or buildings to be seen. Imagine how we can find people there.

Please, pray for all what's happening due to all natural calamities.

God bless you.

Bernie
