The worst typhoon of the century hit Philippines a few days ago and some estimated over 10,000 death toll! As the result of food and water scarcity, this number might unfortunately rise in the next few days. The unfortunate events after this natural disaster, such as looting/gunfire, and famine, was featured in today’s Metro News. Link here.
According to BBC news, Philippine President Benigno Aquino has declared a state of national calamity to speed relief efforts for victims of Typhoon Haiyan. The news link here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24901993
We have a significant number of Filipinos in our department and they might be already affected by this catastrophe. As Philippines is on another side of the world, what we can do is to provide them with financial aids.
