PHILIPPINES-US-TYPHOON-AID

A US military personnel sits on a US Navy Seahawk helicopter loaded with relief supplies for typhoon victims at Iloilo city airport on June 27, 2008. 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
