Disaster in The Philippines

I was saddened to hear about the recent disaster in the Philippines. This beautiful group of islands was hit pretty hard by Typhoon Haiyan, a category 5 super typhoon which stuck on Nov. 8. The city of Tacloban was the hardest hit. Out of the many stories I have read, one really stood out. It was about a baby girl, born five days after Haiyan hit Tacloban who was unable to breathe on her own. Because of the loss of electricity, incubators which would have kept her alive did not work. Her own parents manually pumped oxygen into her lungs for 3 days before she died. My heart goes out to those affected by the typhoon and I will be praying for the Filipino people. Hopefully, they will have the strength and perseverance to carry on in this difficult time.
