Further Philippine islands devastated by Typhoon Haiyan have been reached by the Royal Navy and humanitarian aid distributed among desperate villagers.

 

So far today 125 shelter packs - each containing four family sized kits and nearly 1000 litres of fresh drinking water have been taken by HMS Daring to communities on Canas, Calagnaan and Tulunanaun islands in the north of the region.

 

In all of these areas the storm destroyed housing and infrastructure, leaving families out in the open and vulnerable to the elements and high midday temperatures.

 

Out of the three islands the worst affected was judged to be Tulunanaun which had run out of fresh drinking water and, after an initial drop of 500 litres, the sailors returned with additional supplies.
