Christian Organisations Help in Aftermath of Philippine Mudslide
Last week a number of aid agencies launched a huge relief effort to combat the aftermath of the catastrophic Philippine mudslide which hit a school and hundreds of homes.
It is estimated by the Red Cross and army officials that between 1000 and 2500 people have been killed. The mudslide happened when a rain soaked mountainside collapsed on the isolated village of Guinsaugon, Leyte Island close to the town of St Bernard.
Despite official estimates, it is possible that the final death toll could be significantly higher as there were an estimated 3000 people in the village at the time of the mudslide.
