PHILIPPINES
TYPHOON
APPEAL
November 2013
Thousands of people are feared dead and hundreds of thousands have been
forced from their homes after Typhoon Haiyan ripped through the Philippines.
Homes have been flattened by surging floods and powerful winds.
Whole villages have been swept away.
Fields and villages are flooded. Trees, cars and electricity lines have been
scattered by winds of up to 200 miles an hour.
People are in emergency shelters with little access to basic services.
They urgently need food, blankets, basic first-aid kits and cooking utensils.
Our partners are on the ground doing all they can, but we need your help to
reach those most in need.
How you can help

£40

God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the
earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the
heart of the sea;
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
Psalm 46, 1-3
