From RT Death and Looting in PHL typhoon ravaged area
The typhoon ravaged areas have become no mans land: still held incommunicado to the outside world because of communication failure, help and supplies are not arriving because of lack of vehicles and fuel People scavenge for food and water. (Thus they help themselves to whatever they can find looting?) Smell of death pervades the air as the dead are mixed with debris and no one yet bothers to pick up the dead and bury them
Residents complain that they may have survived the typhoon but may die because of hunger and thirst. The typhoon blew everything away and aid is not coming yet or is slow in coming
