Landslide triggers avalanche of international aid

ed Cross appeal

In Geneva, the International Red Cross on Friday appealed for two million Swiss francs ($1.52 million) to fund an aid operation for the ravaged village in the Philippines.

The funds will be used to buy "cooking utensils, mosquito nets, temporary shelter materials, health and hygiene articles, water containers and purification tablets for survivors over the next six months," the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said in a statement.

A relief plane was on its way to the scene carrying 1,000 body bags, emergency trauma kits to help 1,000 people, rubber boots, ropes, clothing, flashlights and medicine, the federation said.

Other countries near and far also announced they were helping.

China offered a donation of $1 million in cash and material assistance.

Australia said it would give A$1 million ($740,000) in immediate relief.

Taiwan said it would donate $100,000 and send emergency medical supplies that will include enough medicine to treat 3,000 people for a month and a half.

"Singapore officials are in contact with their Philippine counterparts on relief assistance we can provide to the affected areas," Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in a letter to President Macapagal-Arroyo.

Thailand said it would donate $100,000 in aid.

A 60-man Malaysian team arrived yesterday to help in search and rescue work and provide medical services.

Spain, the Philippines' former colonial ruler, said in a statement that it "profoundly laments the landslides."

A Spanish non-government organization, Unidad Canina de Rescate y Salvamento, promised to send a six-man rescue team and five search dogs.

Help had also begun to roll in from local political and church leaders.
