Relief
supplies have reached all communities in the Visayas Region battered by
Supertyphoon "Yolanda", Central Command head Lt. Gen. Roy Deveraturda
said on Monday.
'I
believed (rescue workers) have reached and supplied all the affected
communities with the basic goods. And if there are still areas that are
unserved by our rescue and relief workers, please tell us immediately so we can
respond," he added.
Deveraturda
added that the now swift response of relief forces can be attributed to the now
functioning roads, highways, seaports and airports which were earlier cleared
by military and civilian units.
He
added that the devastated areas are now slowly coming back to life with the
arrival of mobile ATMs, water, power and electricity.
Likewise,
food and other basic supplies are now being brought back thanks to the
assistance of the Department of Trade and Industry.
Deveraturda
added that the military and police, through the deployment of additional
personnel, have also brought law and order back in the super typhoon battered
communities.
He
stressed that these law enforcement units also ensured orderliness in the
distribution of relief goods.
With
these concrete achievements now in the offing, Deveraturda expressed hope that
the rehabilitation work will proceed more smoothly.
