Aid efforts continue to those affected by Typhoon Haiyan
Aid efforts continue to those affected by Typhoon Haiyan: “One of the most difficult aspects of [Typhoon] Haiyan is the remoteness of a lot of the Philippines,” Bernadette Greenland, a member of the American Red Cross, said. “It is extremely difficult for a lot of our teams working out in the field to get to the devastated areas where there are washed out roads and roads covered with debris and fallen trees.”
Red Cross teams have reported bodies floating down rivers and bodies wrapped in plastic on the sides of roads, an attempt to respect those who have died from the disaster. What remains of the streets is littered with broken power lines, splinters of houses, turned over cars and numerous other objects.
