Only a few dozen soldiers and police tried to hold back the crowd in the pouring rain.

Desperate Mothers held up their babies to be, perhaps preferably left in the hope to the aircraft. A 30-year-old woman was trembling violently on a stretcher. Few people were left on board, a few hundred will be the successful escape by air so far.

“I pleaded with the soldiers,” said Helen Cordial, who lost her house in the storm. “I knelt and begged because I have diabetes. Want to, that I die at this airport?”

Among the lucky few at the airfield from Tacloban was Joselito Caimoy . The 42 -year-old truck driver managed to get his wife to accommodate his son and his three year old daughter in one of the machines. In tears Caimoy took leave of his family – he wants to stay in the devastated city to take care of the remains of his possessions .

” There is no water here , no food ,” he said. “The people on the streets looking for food or begging family and friends. ” The demolitions are just too immense, shopping centers and grocery stores were completely pillaged . “The people are hungry. And the authorities can not control these people . ”

Many residents Taclobans have spent the night in the open air – in the ruins of their homes or on the street. Some stayed in tents , which they have received from the government or aid groups .

To their desperate situation is the fact that the Philippines is already the next storm approaches : The tropical storm ” Zoraida ” is to pass on Wednesday and Thursday at the southern disaster area.

The guards tried to stop the escapee by force of arms , but that has not worked at all.
