Lack of fuel derailed relief ops

The destruction of oil depots, mostly located in Tacloban City which was blown up by Super Typhoon Yolanda, has been the cause of delay in delivering the relief goods to the storm victims, a House leader said Tuesday.

Rep. Mel Senen Sarmiento of Western Samar, Head of the House contingent in the powerful Commission on Appointments, made the stance in light of scathing criticisms that the Aquino administration is getting amid the bottlenecks in transporting of the much-needed relief goods.
