According to ABC news the death toll from Typhoon Haiyan has risen to above 5,000 and is likely to climb further.
Typhoon Haiyan cut a path across eastern and central Philippines on Nov.
8, with some of fastest wind speeds on record. Five thousand people have been killed or left
missing. More than 4 million
people are estimated to be displaced.
As you can see, the geography of the Philippines is mostly islands with only 115,600, square miles of land mass. This is about the area of half of Texas, or the same size as Arizona or New Mexico.
A major international relief mission is underway to help the
survivors, many of whom will be dependent on aid for months and probably years to come.
As soon as the news broke, The Jewelry on Etsy Team stepped up to help and you can help us help the Philippines! Shop for a good cause. Below are just a few of the items with proceeds going to relief efforts for victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
A tally will be kept here and funds will be donated through the following organizations:
- World Vision
- Red Cross
- Doctors Without Border
- Lutheran World Relief: Home page has a link for Phlippines Disaster Relief
- Southern Baptist Convention International Mission Board: Providing food, clean water, and building materials.
Even better then knowing you are shopping and doing good at the same time, is that many if the JET shops are having huge sales and/or free shipping over the next few weeks.
