Typhoon Frank ravages the Philippines. Iloilo needs your help

Last weekend the sixth typhoon to enter the Philippine area of responsibility has ravaged most of Panay Island, some areas of Negros Occidental, Leyte, and left several towns and cities flooded.

Typhoon Frank (International Name: Fengshen) claimed hundreds of lives, destroyed hundreds or even thousands of homes destroyed, and leaving a multitude of people with nothing to eat and nowhere to stay. One of the most damaged areas in the Philippines is the province of Iloilo. Until now, electricity has not yet been restored. Potable water is very very limited. And the food is scarce.
