Another Story Never Told

Being overpowered in the media by the other larger news stories, this one seems to have slipped through the cracks. In the Philippines, there have been disastrous storms plaguing the country, resulting in floods and mudslides and other terrible disasters. It has been argued that the government did not warn people and did not supply them with ample recovery. This can be partly given to the fact that the communication lines are virtually nonexistent and constantly unreliable. From different sources the death toll ranges from 100- over 250 people. I feel as thought the world is almost running out of aid. While I am aware that so much more can be done to decrease world suffering, the money and energy necessary to initiate and follow through with intense aid is difficult to come by.
