Super Typhoon Haiyan - Aftermath....

[Terpe]

I've just watched on TV as the first supplies of emergency aid get unloaded at Tacloban Airport to be distributed under appropriate security.

Desperate people will make desperate efforts to survive.
We should ask ourselves what we would do.

The unfortunate side effects are that aid agencies are unable to transport supplies by road and need to rely on air transportation until security can be settled down.

Looks like the huge efforts now begin. Those US V-22 Osprey's have made all the difference.

God speed the aid process

thats the question we all should ask ourselves, most would roll over and die to tell the truth, others would just wait with their hands out,

Hmm ... QUITE! !

...............! Like we witnessed all too frequently - almost every day, in fact (mainly kids ) - throughout both periods I spent in the Phils in 2008/9. And that was in so~called "normal" circumstances.

... AWFUL!
