* Yolanda’s debris famined Tacloban City
* Napoles’ case hid by Yolanda
Yolanda’s destruction is now beyond excess. For the live coverage from Tacloban City, let’s hear it from __________________. _______________________? Extreme hunger is forcing survivors in Yolanda-stricken areas to resort to looting, said Filipino psychologist Dr. Bernadette Arcena on Friday.
In an interview with radio dzBB host Joel Reyes Zobel, Arcena said, “Kapag kumakalam ang tiyan ng isang tao, makagagawa talaga siya ng paraan na hindi naman talaga niya gustong gawin.”
Gripped by extreme shortage of food, water, and medicine, some Yolanda survivors in Tacloban have resorted to digging up underground water pipes and smashing them open.
Some areas of Tacloban were completely washed away due to the storm surge from Yolanda, which packed winds over 185 kilometers per hour and thus, the debris caused famine to Taclobanons. Newscaster: And now, we will talk to one of the families who survived from the debris. So, how’s your situation today, mister?
Father: It’s really hard to get relief goods because we are so many. It’s one of the reasons why we suffer from total hunger.
Newscaster: For you, miss, how hard it is to survive a day here?
Mother: It’s totally difficult especially when the kids are really hungry and you can’t give them even a tiny bit of flesh or fruit. I wish the government would realize how difficult it is for us to survive such situation especially when they can’t post discipline and order.
Newscaster: How about you, kid?
Child: I wish the government would do not just something but everything. We need help here.
Newscaster: Thank you everyone. As what they have said,
