| US and Philippine military personnel load relief goods on a US Navy Seahawk helicopter at Iloilo city airport on June 27, 2008 to airlift aid to worst affected areas. US Navy doctors will help local medics treat victims of Typhoon Fengshen in the central Philippines despite threats from Communist guerrillas said US navy task group commander Rear Admiral James Wisecup. More than 505 people died and over a million have been left homeless after Fengshen battered the central and northern Philippines last weekend. The number does not include the hundreds thought killed when a passenger ferry sank carrying more than 850 people. AFP PHOTO/TARA YAP |
