News Around The PUBLISHED ON 14 NOVEMBER, 2013 Stampede kills 8 in Philippines relief tragedy Philippines (MNN) -- Body bags are being requested, relief is tied up, and hunger is rampant. The Central Philippines is like a war zone. Mission Mobilizer with SEND International Canada, Trent Rollings, is on site and says little search and rescue is taking place. Everyone is in survival mode. While relief aid is pouring in, its backing up because of damaged infrastructure. Survivors have not been able to eat for five--going on six--days. Now the concern is starvation. Now the concern is lack of clean water, and especially medicine for those who are injured. Rollings says its not just about helping people with physical aid. We see tragedies like this as a real opportunity to minister to people, not only to the physical needs, but also the spiritual needs. So when we talk about meeting physical needs, thats never the end goal. The end goal is to share the Gospel. Generously support SEND International through a link in the FULL STORY, below.
