I just wanted to provide the link to the DEC appeal concerning the Philippines Typhoon Disaster.
You can donate in various ways, including via PayPal. You can donate any amount, so don’t be put off by the options presented if you can’t afford those. Every little helps.
The appeal has raised over £13m in less than 24 hours – which dwarfs China’s contribution of about £62,000. In contrast, Japan and Australia have both given over £6m. Britain has pledged about £10m so far. All these latter countries are also providing physical aid.
Over 2,000 people are already confirmed dead, but millions are without housing or food as a result of Typhoon Yolanda. Around 80,000 homes have been totally destroyed. The death toll is less than originally thought, but it is rising by hundreds per hour at the moment.
Donations are completely voluntary, of course.
