UN remembers Typhoon Pablo

A Philippine-based United Nations official called for "continued support" for the victims of Typhoon Pablo, which left massive destruction and more than a thousand dead bodies in southern Mindanao last year.

"As we continue to respond to the immense humanitarian needs of people affected by Typhoon Yolanda [known internationally as Haiyan], we remember the many whose lives were torn apart when Pablo tore through southern Mindanao one year ago and the partnerships we formed," Luiza Carvalho, UN resident and humanitarian coordinator, said in a statement.
