 Manila, October 3, 2009 Dear Friends The Typhoon Ondoe in Philippines created a big problem. In part of the Philippines more than 100 people died and more than half a million are severely affected or homeless. The Country is not in position to recover fast because another typhoon named Pepeng is storming different provinces near Metro Manila in these hours. The water level in and around Metro Manila is increasing. The debris and garbage stormed by Ondoe are a serious threat to the health of the overcrowded population in Metro Manila. Few data: The population density of Metro Manila in normal situation is about 20.000 people per square km. Now in such a critical situation homeless people have been camped in several overcrowded areas. In some places the population density is 30.000 or more per square km. People lives with inadequate hygienic condition, their feet are getting swollen and infected from prolonged contact with dirty water and muddy roads. Their clothes, if they have, do not get dry due to continue rainy weather. The air stinks with foul smell created by rotten garbage and dead animals. The sky is still covered with clouds and rain comes down; not at all a healthy scenario. There is risk that sickness and infection attack more and more people. Ánanda Márga Relief Teams are operating all day long from our campus in Maamo Street, in Sikatuna Village preparing hot and delicious meals and distributing to the people in need. We also distribute clothes and medicines. Many of you already helped our Relief Team Volunteers with different kind of help and we are thankful for your generosity.
