From Rappler - Reports on SuperTyphoon Yolanda

The above post is a compilation of reports on the aftermath of SuperTyphoon Yolanda (there was a strong typhoon typhoon Yoling that inflicted heavy damages on the PHL before).

1. Some 1,200 are feared dead, according to a Red Cross official;

2.  Tacloban hospital faces medicine shortage

3.  Land route from Manila to Tacloban now passable (fallen trees on the road made travel difficult)

4. There was report of  looting and anarchy is feared ;

We will get a clearer picture of the devastation as power lines and communication  are restored.

This is rather difficult for the Bohol and Cebu residents where more than half million are estimated to be living  on temporary shelters because of last months earthquake.  The supertyphoon cut a wide swath across islands which are distant and difficult to access.

Let us help in any way we can to give hope to the brother victims in the Visayas.
