Thousands left homeless and hungry at Christmas as Philippines faces up to climate crisis reality of super typhoon
CNN
More than a week after Super Typhoon Rai -- known locally as Odette -- slammed into the Philippines, survivors are struggling to rebuild their homes -- with many going hungry this Christmas.
"We always celebrated Christmas, but for now, it's too hard," the 27-year-old father of one said, as he sat among rubble in the typhoon-hit city of Surigao, at the northeastern tip of Mindanao in the Philippines.
Broken wood, scraps of metal, and plastic waste line the shore, where an exhausted stray dog sleeps. The stench of waste and dead fish engulf the air.
