Japan ready to send 1,000 more troops to typhoon-stricken Philippines
Nov 13, 2013

The Japanese government is ready to send an additional 1,000 more troops, three naval ships and a number of aircraft to the typhoon-stricken Southeast Asian country of the Philippines to help with the continuing relief efforts due to Super Typhoon Haiyan. According to a spokesperson from the Defense Ministry, they are in consultation with the Philippine government as to the size of the delegation needed in the islands.

This statement comes after Tokyo had already previously sent 50 members of the Self Defense Forces for medical and transport operations at the request of Manila for assistance, particularly in the provinces of Samar and Leyte, the two hardest hit by the disaster, which is being called the strongest recorded typhoon to have made landfall. Japan has also pledged a donation of US$10 million that will be sent through aid organizations and will be used for the building of emergency shelters. If the 1,000 troops will be sent, this will be the largest single relief operation team that theSDF will be sending abroad. They previously sent defense forces also in other regional relief operations, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.

The death toll from the super typhoon has already reached 1,800 as of Wednesday morning and has affected around 7 million people in the region. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said that there are 133 Japanese nationals living in the two provinces and so far, they have only confirmed the safety of 27. Japan has a historical connection to the Tacloban, the capital city of Leyte, as it was the first Philippine city that was liberated from Japanese occupation during World War II.

That goes for the rest of our brothers, or perhaps he has strong arms that could cling on to a strong branch while the strong winds send everything flying.

Hong Kong disaster relief effort begins after Philippine typhoon

UPDATED : Monday, 11 November, 2013, 9:10pm

Aid requests to the typhoon-struck Philippines will be processed according to “procedure and humanitarian policy”, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying said on Monday.

This comes just a week after he warned Manila of unspecified sanctions if they failed to address the demands of the families of eight Hongkongers killed and seven injured in the 2010 bus hostage incident in Manila.

Leung said the government had been in contact with Manila and would “follow procedure and humanitarian policy” in handling requests by relief agencies’ for aid to Philippine typhoon victims.

Asked about the sanctions, Leung said the Philippine government had not requested an extension on the one-month deadline after which “necessary actions” would be taken unless “substantial progress” was made.

Meanwhile, People Power lawmaker Albert Chan Wai-yip, who tabled a private member bill in the Legislative Council earlier this month to ban Filipinos from working in the city, said on Monday he would shelve the bill “temporarily” until rescue efforts in the country were stabilised.

The government will seek urgent approval of the Legislative Council’s finance committee this Friday to inject an additional HK$40 million into the Disaster Relief Fund.

The fund’s balance currently stands at HK$9 million, which is unlikely to be sufficient to meet the funding requirements of the relief organisations, a government spokesman said on Monday.

Local charities have already jumped into action. The Hong Kong Committee for Unicef (Unicef HK) has allocated HK$1 million from its emergency fund as the number of children affected by Super Typhoon Haiyan rose to four million.

Therapeutic food for children, health kits, water and hygiene kits to support up to 3,000 families have already been mobilised from supplies available in the country, with distribution prioritised for the Tacloban area as soon as access is possible.

Unicef’s warehouse in Copenhagen has airlifted HK$10.1 million worth of water purification tablets, soap, medical kits, tarpaulins and micronutrient supplements for another 10,000 families.

Three World Vision emergency assessment teams will travel to some of the worst-affected areas on Sunday, including Bohol province, Samar and Leyte province, and Panay Island, with initial plans to respond to nearly 400,000 people. World Vision Hong Kong has initially committed HK$780,000.

Oxfam Hong Kong has also mobilised more than HK$500,000 on top of the £550,000 (HK$6.8 million) Oxfam Great Britain has allocated. Oxfam expects to give around 250,000 people access to clean water, sanitation and cash for food and basic essentials and to compensate for loss of income.

“These disasters compound the burden of the Philippines’ poorest people. Small-scale farmers and those relying on fishing to make a living will be hardest hit. Their fields and their boats and tackle will be badly damaged and they will need help not only today but in months to come,” said Marie Madamba-Nuñez, advocacy co-ordinator of Oxfam in the Philippines.

The International Red Cross has initially mobilised approximately HK$4 million to support the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) in deploying rapid assessment teams and delivering immediate assistance to 5,000 families.

Hong Kong Red Cross is offering an emergency tracing service to people in the city looking for missing family members in the Philippines.

A Red Cross spokeswoman said 21 enquiries had been received as of 4.30pm today, about 80 per cent of which were initiated by employers on behalf of their domestic helpers. Ten cases involving 34 sought persons have been established, of which two cases involving five sought persons have been closed.

Hong Kong sends aid to Philippines' typhoon Haiyan victims

Relief efforts and cash donations have begun pouring in in Hong Kong to help the typhoon victims in the Philippines.

HONG KONG: Relief efforts and cash donations have begun pouring in in Hong Kong to help the typhoon victims in the Philippines.

Over the weekend, the local Filipino communities also helped to raise funds and provisions to send home.

It is a race against time to raise money and collect daily necessities for the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan.

Aid organisation UNICEF Hong Kong has already allocated more than US$130,000 to support the relief work. It has airlifted US$1.3 million worth of supplies, including water purification tablets, and medical kits from its warehouse in Copenhagen.

UNICEF Hong Kong Chief Executive Irene Chan said: "We hope that in total, immediately, we can help about 13,000 families but that is not enough. We estimate 4 million children could be affected, so we have to keep up the effort.

“The Hong Kong people have always been very generous. In the last 18 hours, we've got about close to HK$200,000. It's not very big but it keeps on coming, we have a lot of enquiries from the public about the situation in the Philippines."

Filipino organisations in Hong Kong, like the Philippines Independent Church and even the local churches like St John's Cathedral, have started fundraising campaigns since Sunday. Monies raised would be sent to rescue organisations in the Philippines."

Medicins Sans Frontieres’ (MSF) disaster management team for the region is based out of Hong Kong. It has already sent 30 specialists -- medical personnel, logisticians -- to Cebu and will be beefing up the number to 100 in the coming weeks.

The two biggest problems, according to MSF, are accessibility and the ability to scale up their rescue efforts.

MSF executive director Remi Carrier said: "Water is going to be key, treating people is going to be key. There has been a succession of disasters for the past months, and their team, the rescuers have been overstretched by the level of intervention that they have to support this year.

“We are coordinating with the government to identify the gaps and to agree which are the areas where MSF can be useful."

The Hong Kong government is also seeking lawmaker approval to inject another US$5 million into its Disaster Relief Fund on Friday, in part to benefit the typhoon victims.

My maid/friend seems cool. She told me that her hometown is in the north of the Ph and there was not much damage caused over there. I assume that the situation of the whole country isn't as bad as some people say.
