Two and a half weeks have passed since a powerful storm ripped through southern and northeastern Mindanao and parts of the Visayas, leaving more than a thousand dead, hundreds missing and millions without sources of livelihood. No one could calculate the immensity of suffering, with the victims having no food, no shelter and no access to medical treatment for their injuries or the diseases that have befallen them.
