Survivors seek to flee typhoon zone The ASSOCIATED PRESS TACLOBAN, Philippines – Thousands of typhoon survivors swarmed the airport here Tuesday seeking a flight out, but only a few hundred made it, leaving behind a shattered, rain-lashed city short of food and water and littered with countless bodies. Four days after Typhoon Haiyan struck the eastern Philippines, assistance is only just beginning to arrive. Authorities estimated the storm killed 10,000 or more across a vast swath of the country, and displaced around 660,000 others. Tacloban, a city of about 220,000 people on Leyte island, bore the full force of the winds and the tsunami-like storm surges. Most of the city is in ruins, a tangled mess of destroyed houses, cars and trees. Malls, garages and shops have all been stripped of food and water by hungry residents. The United Nations said it had released $25 million in emergency funds and was launching an emergency appeal for money. Just after dawn Tuesday, two Philippine air force C-130s arrived at its destroyed airport along with several commercial and private flights. More than 3,000 people who camped out at the building surged onto the tarmac past a broken iron fence to get on the aircraft. Just a dozen soldiers and several police held them back. Mothers raised their babies high above their heads in the
Relief effort begins after typhoon UNITED STATES The U.S. government is organizing emergency shipments of critically needed material to provide shelter to the hundreds of thousands of displaced Filipinos and food and hygiene supplies to thousands of families. BRITAIN The United Kingdom is deploying a Royal Navy warship and donating roughly $16 million worth of humanitarian assistance in aid of the victims of the typhoon. Britain will also deploy Royal Air Force military transport aircraft to aid in recovery efforts, earmarking at least one C-17 cargo plane to move humanitarian aid and large equipment. AP photo
Residents queue up to receive treatment and relief supplies Monday at Tacloban airport after Typhoon Haiyan on Friday lashed this city and several provinces in the central Philippines. Typhoon-ravaged Philippine islands faced an unimaginably huge recovery effort that had barely begun Monday, as bloated bodies lay uncollected and uncounted in the streets and survivors pleaded for food, water and medicine. rain, in hopes of being prioritized. One woman in her 30s lay on a stretcher, shaking uncontrollably. Only a small number managed to board. “I was pleading with the soldiers. I was kneeling and begging because I have diabetes,” said Helen Cordial, whose house was destroyed in the storm. “Do they want me to die in this airport? They are stone hearted.” Most residents spent the night under pouring rain
wherever they could – in the ruins of destroyed houses, in the open along roadsides and shredded trees. Some slept under tents brought in by the government or relief groups. Local doctors said they were desperate for medicines. Beside the ruined airport tower, at a small makeshift clinic with shattered windows, army and air force medics said they had treated around 1,000 people since the typhoon for cuts, bruises, lacerations, deep
wounds. “It’s overwhelming,” said air force Capt. Antonio Tamayo. “We need more medicine. We cannot give anti-tetanus vaccine shots because we have none.” International aid groups and militaries are rushing assistance to the region, but little has arrived. Government officials and police and army officers have all been caught up in the disaster themselves, hampering coordination.
AUSTRALIA Australia announced assistance of $9.4 million. That includes the deployment of an emergency medical team, aid to the U.N. Flash Appeal and aid to Australian nongovernmental organizations for immediate life-saving assistance. JAPAN Japan will fly a 25-member relief team of mostly medical staff. TAIWAN Taiwan said it will send $200,000 in aid to help with relief efforts.
Continued from page A1 “We come out to honor a very special group of people that I call the real 1 percent in our country, which are those that really, really step up to defend our country in tough times,” Kinzinger said. Veterans and those who continue to serve in the military are true heroes who make sacrifices to protect people’s lives and freedoms, said Tim Carlson, Sycamore High School principal. They are unlike the athletes and celebrities students see all the time, he said. “They’ve delayed their education to serve,” he said. “They spend long periods of time separated from their families, … they spend time being in harm’s way. Families do not know if the next phone call or knock on the door will be an indication of their loved one’s demise.” Before an assembly where students and staff met with the veterans, they were invited to a ceremony outside the school where the flag was lowered to half-staff. Another ceremony was held where veterans and musicians led students throughout the school before
stopping by the school’s Freedom Isn’t Free wall display for a moment of silence. On the display are the photographs of veterans who attended Sycamore High School. Carlson said the newest addition to the display would be Milton “Pete” Knudson, a Sycamore High School graduate who enlisted in the military in 1941 and died during World War II. Army Sgt. Candace Oliver said she remembered having the day off from school on Veterans Day. Like Martinez, she said when she fought in Afghanistan she had to spend time away from her family. She said that at the time her daughter was confused about why her mother couldn’t be with her, but is learning about why soldiers like her must go elsewhere to fight. She said it’s important for schools to support veterans by recognizing Veterans Day. “It does make you a better person,” she said. Senior Alex Riley said it was good for the school to highlight the hardships of veterans. “I just think it’s really cool our school takes the time to honor the people who took the risk they made to preserve our way of life,” he said.
