Catholic Relief Ser vices’ staff r epor ted on 16 November , “No one has gotten to the
places fur ther south.” J en Har dy, A Regional Infor mation Officer based in
Cambodia, tr aveled fr om Or moc to P alo, a town south of Tacloban.
“In Or moc, ther e’s a buzz of activity. P eople ar e out doing things. But in P alo, it’s
the opposite. Ther e’s ver y little going on ther e. It’s quiet. The mar kets ar e not open.
I saw no food for sale. The destr uction is so bad, people don’t know wher e to star t. I
hear d maybe one chainsaw wor king, that’s it. Ther e is no electr icity. P eople wer e
cooking whatever r ice they had over fir es made fr om salvaged debr is.” “P alo is the
seat of the ar chdiocese that includes Tacloban. CRS is wor king with the Chur ch
ther e. Ther e ar e sever al har d-hit par ishes near P alo, including Sante Fe and San
J oaquin. No one knows how many people died ther e, but one pr iest told me he
thought he’d lost between 1/3 and 2/3 of his parishioner s.”
“We went far ther south fr om P alo and found small towns that wer e hit just as badly
with massive number s of people impacted by the stor m. In Tacloban, ther e is a buzz
of activity with planes landing and many jour nalists. No one has gotten to these
places far ther south. The people have been on their own. “As you tr avel thr ough this
ar ea, you look out on a landscape that befor e the typhoon was lush and ver dant.
Now, when you look into the mountains, it’s completely differ ent. The tr ees ar e all
toppled. What used to be gr een is now br own.”
CRS, which will soon begin distr ibuting shelter mater ial in Or moc, is wor king to get
aid to P alo and the sur r ounding communities. An office is being set up on Chur ch
gr ounds of the ar chdiocese in P alo.
