Typhoon Haiyan- despair and hope
Friday, November 15, 2013
World Vision has started the first of many aid distributions of food and hygiene kits to survivors of Typhoon Haiyan- bringing hope to thousands of families who have spent desperate days in despair waiting for help.
The first distribution food kits include rice, beans, sardines, biscuits, cooking oil and water, which will feed a family for one week. Families also receive a hygiene kit containing toothpaste, toothbrushes, sanitary items, hand towels, razors, bath soap, laundry soap, underwear, and nail clippers.
The immediate need is food and water, followed by emergency accommodation.
