Many still missing in Philippines

Yet another typhoon has hit a very poor area in the Philippines. The author explains how hundreds are missing, were killed, and are starving after this natural disaster. This area, like many in east Asia is completely based on agriculture, however as reported there is 100% devastation and it will take a long time for recovery. The author truly appealed to pathos by talking about a child who held up a sign, begging for food as people drove by. It seems so unjust that the poorest parts of the world are often hit with these natural disasters, yet they have the least amount of resources to recover from the devastation. Specifically in the Philippines these typhoons hit multiple times a year, and people there are helpless. Just last year 1300 lives were taken, and it seems many more will follow suit.
