It’s a relief to know my relatives are all safe as flood waters continue to plague the residents of Manila. Others aren’t so lucky. The storm’s local name is ‘Ondoy’. It is known internationally as Ketsana. Whatever you call the storm-it is relentless and continues to wreck havoc on the capital of the Philippines. The United States has donated $100,000 and deployed a military helicopter and five rubber boats manned by about 20 American soldiers. The United Nations Children’s Fund and the World Food Program have also provided food and other aid.

(CNN) — The death toll from flooding in the Philippines climbed to 140 Monday as a tropical depression in the Pacific sparked new fears of flooding.
Flood water began to subside after a weekend that saw Manila hit with its heaviest rainfall in more than 40 years.More than 80 percent of the capital was under water at one point Sunday. The deluge caused by Tropical Storm Ketsana, which has since strengthened into a typhoon, engulfed whole houses and buses.
At least 140 people have died, the National Disaster Coordinating Council said.

Power and water supply failed in some areas. Roads were rendered impassable, making rescue efforts challenging. Rescue crews were handing out food rations. See incredible images of the flooding »
“Right now the challenge is to find out how many people have actually died and how many people we have to take care of in terms of people who’ve been displaced,” said Richard Gordon, the chairman of the Philippines National Red Cross.
