The Philippines was hit from a powerful typhoon last week, causing widespread death and destruction. According to sources, Typhoon Haiyan affected millions people across the Philippines with at least 600,000 being displaced. Survivors were described as being in desperate need of clean drinking water and food. Experts in the field have urged those who want to help to send a cash donation to a charity in lieu of material donations. A Red Cross official says the charity purchases survivors' needs locally or domestically after disasters to help revive the economy, control transportation costs, and ensure items are appropriate for the culture.
According to sources, many charities are stepping up to provide help and outlets for donations.
