RAW VIDEO: SAMOA
Philippines reports 1.9 million homes destroyed in Manila with nearly 380,000 seeking shelter. This is probably half of the ones who really need help or are struggling at relatives and friends homes, crowded or feeling the financial burden. Aid agencies are working vigorously to help the region, however, storms are developing rapidly as Cambodia to Vietnam has received heavy damage. The most recent weather disaster was the tsunami that flooded streets of Somao. The earthquake happened in the ocean, causing the massive wave, then flooding inward toward coastal city villages. Check report of the death toll as of this week for these natural disasters!
