Guest post by Kathryn Dunmore, Red Cross blogger
It has been just over three months since Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the Philippines. Red Cross has been providing relief to communities in need of food, shelter, clean water and medical assistance. Several National Red Cross Societies including the Canadian Red Cross continue to provide assistance and
raise funds to boost the Philippine Red Cross’ plan to
support the long-term recovery of 100,000 families in the worst affected areas over the next two years.
In this photo gallery we share images from the
past three months. Relief efforts are evident amidst the devastation, as are the young faces of its future.
