In the Philipines, there has been a deadly typhoon leaving many dead or homeless. This particular typhoon is referedd to as Haiyan. Its winds reached to almost 200 mph - which was more powerful than Hurrican Katrina. The death toll is still in process but at this time almost 2000 are dead and 3000 have injuries. Although these are tragic, the first estimated death toll was 10000 - outrageous!
Relief efforts are in effect so try and supply food, water, housing and medical care for those in need. We need to come together and help one another. All we have is ourselves.
