Different country all over the world donated a good amount of cash and food to support the Philippines. Many concern people also donated various things that can help the affected areas. If you are plan to donate, read some do's and dont's below before packaging your donation.
1.) DO NOT PACK NOODLES,
RICE OR ANYTHING THAT NEEDS WATER. There is no water and electricity so
it is impossible to cook this kind of food. Stick to bread, canned goods
that are ready-to-eat and can be opened without the need for a can opener.
2.) PACK MEDICINE. Most especially basic medicine (biogesic, bioflu, robitussin etc). Also if possible, include medicine for surface wounds as many have been wounded because of the debris and fallen rooftops.
3.) PACK AT LEAST ONE BOTTLE OF WATER. People are raging for water (some have even become violent just for water). There is no source of water at all in any part of Tacloban.
4.) PACK CANDLES AND MATCHES. There will be no electricity for a minimum of two months so all people will need these.
5.) ENCOURAGE YOUR RESPECTIVE GROUP/ORGANIZATION TO DONATE BODYBAGS. Bodies are lying around the roads within the city and some of the places have already been filled up with bodies.
