Super-Typhoon Rai (Philippines) - State of Calamity Declared
Our National Leaders in the Philippines are dealing with the aftermath of Super-Typhoon Rai (aka Odette). Almost 400 people have died, and over 630,000 have been displaced across the affected areas, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Damaged roads, power outages, severed communication lines and lack of government assistance continue to hamper relief efforts, and people are pleading for food, water, and shelter.
