ADRA on site focuses on three areas in which it started to provide basic assistance. "Visajských The island operates three of our teams are in charge of drinking water and provision of sanitary facilities, construction of shelters and food aid," lists the emergency coordinator ADRA International Moises Mosico .

Filipinos now afflicts a large hot. It is not to hide from the sun because the trees fell to the ground. "Fever heat alternating rain, which is the other extreme.
