Aid for 2012 Flood Victims in Manila
Torrential rains following Typhoon Saola have flooded the Philippine capital, displacing up to 20,000 residents and raising last week's death toll to 51, according to the Associated Press.As usual it is the poorest of the poor who are most affected - those living in shanties and makeshift houses that are easily swept away by the floods, living the residents with nowhere to go.
A big majority of these people subsist on daily labor. With streets flooded, they cannot work and without work they cannot fend for themselves or their families.
