Last night was furious enough but today, as we tried to get out of the area, Typhoon Parma struck again with high winds and flash floods our van stalled in a flash flood and started washing backward down the road between Sanchez Mira and Laoag, which had become a river.

PLEASE HELP OUT.
I’m not yet sure with the details for donations’ drop off areas for those coming from other parts of the country since there’s still no announcements ’bout it, and besides, major roads are still blocked due to landslide
But as soon as I get my hands on those details, I’ll let you know.
Thank you.

MaximsNewsNetwork: 06 October 2009 – UNTV: The United Nations launches an appeal for $74 million to help 1 million flood-stricken people in the Philippines which has been hit by massive back-to-back storms.

The United Nations today launched an appeal for seventy-four million dollars to help the one million flood-stricken people in the Philippines, which has been hit by massive back-to-back storms.

United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator, John Holmes told journalists today (6 October) at the United Nations (UN) that he thought this to be the largest flash appeal ever launched for Philippines.

At least three hundred people were killed when tropical storm Ketsana (also known as Ondoy) slammed into the South-East Asian nation last week, displacing hundreds of thousands.

The devastation wrought by that deadly storm was amplified by typhoon Parma, which made landfall in recent days, affecting 70,000 people. That storm struck an area focused on agriculture, resulting in a nearly $120 million loss in crops. Preemptively, 35,000 people were evacuated, but the number of people sheltering in camps is expected to rise to 100,000.

Holmes said that in order to jumpstart the international response he had already authorized an allocation of seven million dollars from the Central Emergency Response fund (CERF) for projects on the appeal. He added that many governments in the region, as well as the US government were helping in different ways in addition to the UN efforts.

Some 400,000 people are living in emergency shelters around the hard-hit capital, Manila, with many expected to return to their homes once the water has receded.

Holmes noted that the situation on the ground was still difficult; he said that the main affected areas were still being hit by heavy rain, which was affecting the relief operations. He also said that as always with flooding and lack of clean water, there was a serious risk of communicable diseases such as diarrhea, respiratory infections, and skin diseases.

Commenting on the possible links of this natural disaster to climate change Holmes said that one cant link any one event to climate change, but added that the trend looked pretty clear, thats what the scientists have told us to look out for and the reality on the ground seems to be following that.

Here is another video we found on YouTube.  A Philippines resident in Legazpi, Albay uses their cell phone to film the sheer power of the latest Philippines typhoon, Typhoon Parma (known locally as “Typhoon Pepeng“).

We hope he was able to stay safe while he was filming this Philippines typhoon.  It’s likely that many amateur videographers who try this never get a chance to release their video or pictures because they get blown away!  Please stay safe and secure if you’re going to attempt this kind of thing!  You’re quite literally taking your life into your hands!

This video is from GMA, a local television station and broadcasting company in the Philippines.  This Philippines Typhoon video on Typhoon Pepeng is presented entirely in Tagalog, the most common dialect of the 29 dialects spoken in the Philippines.  It’s just further documenting the devastation from the Philippines flood which resulted from the last typhoon which blew through the Philippines only a week ago.

Although we found this video on the Philippines Typhoon (Typhoon Pepeng) on YouTube, the video is courtesy Of GMA Brodcasting.  Unfortunately the sound isn’t very good on this video, but it’s good enough to understand what they are saying about Typhoon Pepeng and the ongoing devastation caused by the Philippines flood.
