its been 3 years, i will never forget you #yolanda pt.2 of short clips from the footages i got during the rescue mission of the typhoon haiyan aftermath

May the dead rest in peace. May the living live, in all of the word's shallowest and deepest meanings.

Yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of typhoon Haiyan's landfall in the Philippines. I was a 1st year medical student and lucky I was not in Tacloban when it happened but I saw the devastation when I went back 2 days after it happened. Dead bodies everywhere, dark nights, hungry people, no communication it felt like I was in a movie. People were getting sick, food supply was low and everyone was looking for help and then the whole world helped. Fast forward to two years after, people are still traumatized, a lot are still looking for their lost loved ones, lots still lacking permanent shelters but whenever you see these people, you see hope, you see resilience, you see the fighting spirit and you see faith that despite that everything that happened people are slowly moving forward to a better brighter future hearts full of hope.
