'Endless path of misery:' Typhoon aid workers rush to restore vital water supplies
Excerpts.
"We had cases of severely dehydrated children from dysentery," Visto told Snyderman. In addition to clean water, medical workers need basic supplies and electricity to do their job, the doctor said.
Some of the most obvious stop-gap solutions may only serve to make matters worse, experts said. Simply shipping in bottled water isn't a solution because it encourages looting and doesn't solve the larger problem, Tata Abella-Bolo, a project manager for OxFam International, told NBC News.
Instead, officials are working to install 20,000-gallon tanks in three central locations in Eastern Samar, Cebu and Leyte, 30 minutes outside Tacloban City. The water will be chlorinated and sent through local pipes for public use, Abella-Bolo said.
