Philippines FloodsFrom Field Director, Mark Chapman: As more bodies are being recovered the official death toll has risen sharply to over 700. Hundreds remain missing and are feared dead. 
The worse hit areas are Cagayan de Oro and Iligan cities, with whole villages being swept into the sea. None of our workers were affected but the floods. However, we do have many friends and partners in the area. At this stage all seem to be safe and sound. |
