YOLANDA REVUILDING INADEQUATE - UN

• The Philippines has not done enough to rebuild after super-typhoon "Haiyan" (Yolanda), as thousands remain in shanties without power or water for nearly two years, a UN representative said yesterday Many storm survivors in the Visayas have had to endure relocating to evcuation camps up to three times since Yolanda struck in 2013.
• And the sub-standard housing leaves them vulnerable to future typhoons, said Chaloka Beyani, UN special reporter on the human rights of internally displaced persons

YOLANDA REBUILDING INADEQUATE - UN

• The sub-standard housing leaves them vulnerable to future typhoons, aside from falling short of safetry standars, the wood-and-tin "bunkhouses" also leave women and girls vulnerable to sexual abuse and early pregnancy, Roughly 2,000 families in the bunkhouses as well as in palm-thatch temporary homes, said Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman
• Soliman said the lack of power and running water in areas was due to local governments unpaid utility bills. president Benigno Aquino has budgeted 160B pesos to rebuild after Haiyan
• The Philippines is one of the world's most disaster-prone countries, at risk from earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and an average of 20 typhoons yearly

REFLECTION

• Aica - I believe that even though super typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda hit the Philippines two years ago especially the visayan area, us filipinos never gave up we still had our hopes held high to have a new life again and that people will be blessed for helping them, especially for all the people who donated and helped them, also for the UN because they are helping us build new homes for the people who lost everything that was precious to them.

REFLECTION

• Tongco - the victims of yolanda are still struggling, the government is slow in responding but the yolanda victims are still hoping to recover from the incident.
