Typhoon aid operation still feels improvised
Seven days on and the aid operation still feels a bit improvised at this stage.
There is a lot of aid stockpiled at the airport, but there are not a lot of trucks. You would expect a whole line of trucks being loaded up and coming in.
But there are signs of recovery. The roads are being cleared. The mobile phone network is working in some cases. There is a sense of life returning a little bit.
Part of the problem is that anyone with any money or power or connections has left this place, and parts of it are starting to look like a deserted city.
