En notis om en katastrof

Som de flesta bör veta, om inte annat av smärre notiser i dagspress och superkorta inslag i radio och teve så har Filippinerna drabbats av ännu en naturkatastrof, tyfonen Ondoy följd av störtregn och översvämningar. Denna gång är det Manilaområdet i Luzon som drabbats. Minst ett par hundra döda rapporteras och bortåt en halv miljon har blivit hemlösa. Och regeringen vädjar om hjälp utifrån. En ny tyfon verkar dessutom vara på väg om ett par dagar.

Självfallet behövs mycket hjälp. Det går till exempel genom olika hjälporganisationer. Det filippinska Röda korset är en. Jag fick dessa uppgifter (inklusive länk till RK) om hur hjälpa konkret.
