all steps down as finance minister, counting the cost on al-jazeera be the hero, the world needs washing or al-jazeera give it all. this is the news hour live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. our next scene or morning 1273 is able to prevent coverage. 90 disease including severe disease in people overseas injure another breakthrough in the race for a coronavirus vaccine. us firm a done as early trial results show, it's nearly 95 percent effective. u.s. president donald trump, that national security adviser expresses the administration's desire to see an end

to the qatar blockade within the next 2 months. and just their exclusive investigation unveils recordings of one of the world's most wanted men attempting to negotiate immunity from prosecution in the nation. and this hour president elect joe biden is expected to be a big deal in his plan to revive an economy ravaged by the pandemic, we will carry it live. the world health organization is warning the world not to relax its guard as the push for a coronavirus vaccine shows signs of progress. this is not the time for complacency. while we continue to receive encouraging news about coffee of 19 vaccines and remain cautiously optimistic about the potential for the new tools to

start to rise in the coming months. right now, we are extremely concerned by the surging cases we are seeing in some countries, particularly in europe and the americas. us pharmaceutical firm says their results from trials show it's vaccine is 94.5 percent effective. it's really important milestone in the fight against the pandemic. because it demonstrates that our very senior morning, it was 73 is able to prevent covert 900 disease including severe disease in people who received it. it's really just a milestone. we have a lot of work ahead of us knowing the vaccine is going to be effective is great news, but we still need to complete the regulatory process, which involves completing the study, generating more data, follow up safety. and then of course, we need to get busy manufacturing. president donald trump made a deal with the debt. it all gets to purchase 100000000 doses of the drug once it

was ready. but it is the 2nd candidate with a chance of getting approval fison else last week that its vaccine was 90 percent effective. in late stage trials, it is promising news as infections continue to climb. the u.s. now has over 11000000 confirmed cases that is the highest in the world. the u.s. top infectious disease expert stopped at the fall. she says things are going in the right direction. but there is a long way to go. the virus is not going to stop and call a timeout while things change the virus is just going to keep going. the process is just going to keep going. this is something that just is now going in the very, very strong right direction. the vaccines are effective, we want to get it approved as quickly as we possibly can. we want to get doses to people starting in december, and then we want to really get the ball rolling as we get into january, february, and march. we want to smooth process for that and the way you do that is by

essentially having the 2 groups speak to each other and exchange information. let's get more now from hi joe castro who is in wilmington, delaware, heidi, so good news, obviously on the vaccine front. might that change the game a little bit when it comes to joe biden's plan for the economy, which is meant to be laying out within the hour? well, kim, we are expecting joe biden to be talking about his economic recovery plan soon, but certainly it is not based on the contingency of this vaccine for sure. panning out because while of course they have now spent a day that's close to 95 percent, efficacy rate is very promising. in fact be gone and the drug makers dreams of africa. see, it's certainly not something that you can count on of being given to all the americans who need it as soon as possible. of course, the distribution part that is the most challenging at this point. but what we do

know about this vaccine is that it was developed in conjunction with the u.s. government, scientists at the national institutes of health. it is 2 shots to be given to the patient. and one of the major benefits it appears is that not only is it 95 percent effective in preventing cope infection, but for the few people who still do get cold it, despite having gotten the vaccine, well, they appear to have less severe symptoms, which is a very significant accomplishment of this vaccine, but there are still more testing to be done. and as you heard from dr. anthony, the timeline for distribution is still very much in the air perhaps by early spring of next year for the general population. all of course, depending on how smoothly this presidential administration transfer of power takes place. and we've heard from joe biden's transition team that there is frustration. they're not getting information from president trump's administration. and in fact,

biden's team of advisers has already been meeting directly with the drug, the vaccine manufacturers themselves to come up with a plan. ok, thank you so much for that. for us and willing to delaware. as the professor of epidemiology of medicine at columbia university, she explains what needs to happen before a pfizer and madonna vaccines can enter widespread distribution. well, these are preliminary data and the companies are continuing to follow the participants in those studies to collect more data, both on terms of the efficacy out there. why? well, the vaccine works, as well as also the safety because we need a little bit of a longer follow up to make sure that the rest scenes are safe. at that point in time, the, both of the companies will submit to the for the drug administration here in the united states and request for emergency use our cameras issued. and this allows

then the distribution and the use of these vaccines amongst the population. and this is obviously going to take several weeks, if not, several months. and beyond that, of course, there's the need to be able to distribute the vaccines and deploy them to the people who need them the most. and that's also going it, except i think the global mobilization by researchers and around the world and from a sort of a companies and governmental agencies all around the world to push the development of the vaccine as rapidly as possible. sooner rather than having the usual traditional sequential development of vaccine going through the french studies incrementally over time. there's been now in much more accelerated development of these vaccines. and actually starting to manufacture the vaccines even before we have data on their efficacy. so the goal was,

has always been to try to get that seen a safe and effective as soon as possible and other city get it to the people who need to take the vaccine as soon as possible as well. donald trump's national security advisor said the 1st step to solving become clogged. all thought kate is to allow planes to fly of a saudi arabia. well that a brian was speaking at a global security forum hosted impost by qatar. he said he'd like to see that happen in the next 70 days before a transition of office. saudi arabia, the u.a.e., egypt, and bahrain imposed land sea and apple case 2017. so we'd like to get that rich saw, we felt that soften the air when it gets you that you referred to the air had, was it because it was able to fly over saudi or space or bahraini airspace is an important 1st step in solving that rift i'd like to see that get done before if we

end up leaving office, i'd like to see that get done in the next 70 days and i'm done. i think there's a possibility for ok. our white house correspondent kelly heloc is live for us in washington. kimberly, what does this mean to me? does it, is there actually going to be an end to the blockade inside how? how important is this? this is extremely important, especially to the trumpet ministration. what we're hearing from the national security adviser is in fact that donald trump has made this a top priority in what many expect to be his final days in office? no, you have to remember this blockade has been in places 2017 put in place by saudi arabia,, bahrain, the u.a.e., as well as you know, says really limiting the access land sea air for qatar and qatari. so as a result, this is something that the administration believes that it can put in place through negotiations that have currently been going on and happen going on for some time when it comes to arab nations recognizing israel. now the goal of that plan was

really to sort of get a counterbalance to iran and protect israel from what they saw as this existential threat. but within these negotiating mechanisms is where they believe this crisis can be resolved. now, what we're hearing from the national security adviser is that the president sees this too similar to a family dispute if you will. and so he believes that it is something that he can accomplish. particularly when he said all along. he believes that he can use his own personality and to go shooting skills to try and resolve. now one other interesting point that we're learning from the national security advisor that i should mention is while the u.s. president continues to challenge the current election results with legal challenges . what he's also added that if ultimately joe biden is determined to continue, has been determined and continues to be determined as the winner. what he's saying is that he expects that donald trump will allow for a what he calls

a very professional transition. which of course, is important to use, not just for the issue of the blockade, but also on the issue of the vaccines as we've been talking about earlier in this bulletin. thanks so much for that. can we help get their white house correspondent? ok, joining us now from new york is rami correa, director of global engagement, and senior public policy fellow at the american university of beirut. thank you for your time. so the national security advisor, robert bind is saying he wants qatar airways to be able to fly over saudi arabia, bahrain as an important 1st step in solving the rift. how much weight should we be putting into this, that the u.s. will actually be pushing to and the blockade on qatar before the end of the trump administrator. i think given the track record of the trumpet, ministration and the role of individuals including secretaries of state and others who have tried to resolve the blockade issue. i would not put

a lot of weight on this right now. we have officials saying things that sound good and one hopes that they will lead to an end of the blockade. but the tradition and the trump administration is that the president should feelings aren't any one day or any morning or evening are really where determine what happens in terms of foreign policy. the policy has been erratic, it has been based on a real serious knowledge of the region by the principal, actors in the united states. and i think this is something we should take a very lightly, but hope that it might build on to something better later. just sort of remind our international viewers, if you can, of why the blockade began in the 1st place. the blockade began because the united arab emirates and saudi arabia with it, with egypt and bahrain, and turbo basically wanted to pressure qatar for various reasons. mostly

people think because of the fear is that the u.a.e. and the saudis had about trends around the region. and the recent in the last 8 years, 9 years elections muslim brothers winning elections, who are open news arms as ear and other outlets of people talking to iran. the trends around the region scare the daylights out of the sodium and they're at the leaderships. and they responded in the way that they have responded in all of their foreign policies in the region with a combination of panic and competence. which again, they proved with a couple of blockade because a blockade has been a painful to a couple and certain ways. it's cost more money for the airline to import food and stuff like that. but essentially a couple is much stronger and more self-reliant today and more respected around the world for the way it has responded. of the monarchy and saudi policies have been

the failures. the saudis accuse kupper of supporting terrorism, which they say to anybody who talks to anybody in the muslim brotherhood, or allows free elections to the police or talks to iran. and the saudis, in the middle it is really have discredited themselves quite a bit. and it's surprising that they haven't found a face saving way to end this blockade, but let's hope this, this maybe in. well, that was my last question, just the time of what we are running out of time. but are there any signs or, whatever, there are from the u.a.e., from saudi, from egypt about a potential end to the blockade. we're hearing nothing really. they make a statement that, you know, the gulf should solve its problems or something like that, but they really don't know how to resolve that. they understand, i think that they haven't succeeded. it has cost them in terms of the reputation

that they have a big problem in yemen. they have problems elsewhere. now they're losing their biggest supporter of president trump and the white house they're panicking about that probably. so there's no signal from the saudis. lemert is that they really want to or know how to resolve this issue, but hopefully, you know, calmer minds will prevail. they'll realize that it's in their best interest and everybody in the gulf to resolve this really silly dispute. it's not really a dispute, it's a one sided blockade to terminate this unilateral aggression then let's see what happens. we hope something quickly will be done to solve or than there can choke us on the more important issue of engaging with iran and with the u.s. and with the russians and the turks to get genuine security and stability for everybody in the region without using any kinds of aggressions and threats. thank you so much for explaining all of that for us around the corner there, director of global engagement and sing,

troops as well as vehicles carrying food and medical supplies headed towards the border. them out of eden, ha's with a to great region. we've been told they are enforcement for the troops and government troops who are already engaged in the fighting, which is now day 12 with the to go right people's liberation front. the government has been claiming huge victories and in the past 24 hours have said they have taken over the town off and say, now they have their sights on mckillop a couple of the region. this is of course something that has been constantly denied by the to gray administration misleader, the brazilian government kyle has been speaking in the past few hours and he has called on the united nations and the african union to condemn what he calls attacks on civilians by the ethiopian national defense forces including the use of drones, something that's been denied by addis ababa in the past few days to grab

people's liberation from tough taken the war to a new level using missiles, not just against towns like where we also bought the couple of the region where they targeted the airports, but i've also sent missiles across the border to us model, something diplomats say, could drop in at a trade and make this war international where the conflict erupted after an attack on a federal military base into great province by regional forces a colleague got exclusive access to that base and we are now inside the northern military base, located into great region in northern ethiopia. it was the attack here which sparked current clashes between the federal government forces and the 2 great people's liberation front. this military base is the largest in ethiopia, house's massive military gear, chiefly tanks, simply because it has been for 2 decades. the epicenter of ethiopia's war against

every trailer. according to the federal army, p.l.f. fighters launched an offensive in an attempt to seize the base along with the weaponry and here they were met with fierce resistance. and as a result, this base has recently witnessed ferocious fighting, marik, but you will be heard at the border would be a big moment in the wake of these developments. if your peers pm avia declared war against city p.l.f. on november 4th, saying that their assault on the base crossed the red line, the end had joe and that her son was a northern military base. great province. as we ventured, refugees from ethiopia's to grave region are continuing to cross into neighboring sudan. so the state media say the number of people saying the violence has now risen to nearly 25000. to morgan has more from the sudan, ethiopia border after walking for 5 days in my matthew has finally reached

he escaped fighting in his hometown of home in ethiopia, stigler a region. he's exhausted and hungry. when the fighting started and people were being killed, i left everything behind and fled. i walked for days and became weak, but i had to continue. now i'm suffering from fatigue and i've been diagnosed with malaria. go to my is one of more than 20000. people who fled to sudan seeking safety. some have chest infections, raising concerns that they may be infected with the coronavirus. the refugees include pregnant women, like i'm listed behind it. and when the bombardment started, i took my children and ran. even though i'm pregnant, i carried one on my back and one on my arm. and i started running away without a sense of direction until i arrived at the river and crossed into sudan. i have not had food for days and my belly is hurting, even though i've got a month before giving birth. the reception center here at home day it has one

health clinic, but lacks proper medical equipment. doctors say more and more patients are arriving every day. we get wounded people because of explosive materials, like grenades, gunshots and fractures. some people have diabetes. we try to handle the cases we can, but where we card, we were further to the county hospital. but we are quite concerned about the possibility of spread of communicable diseases amongst refugees, because they're all close together in a small space. so dan, aspiring to transfer people here to another camp. those at least who are well enough to move, but more refugees are expected. and the pressure on this clinic will remain morgan al-jazeera, how date need to sudan if you hear border call is a representative of the un refugee agency in ethiopia. she says, there's huge concern about how much access they have to assist vulnerable people in that region. the conflict remains very active today. we had

a report from our colleagues in their office in mckellar that they witnessed an airstrike. not far from them. there remains a blackout of electricity, water internet, but hot somehow, the things we were able to communicate with them this morning, but things remain very, very dismount. they're afraid, and people are moving constantly. we're very concerned about the people who depend daily on food assistance, cash transfers from the government and all sorts of humanitarian assistance among those poppy that population. there are a 100000 refugees and asylum seekers who live in 4 camps and we provide for them health care, food aid, the world food program. unicef helps us with looking after the children. children have just gone back to school after the couvade prevented us from having classes for over 6 months. so it's really a day, a situation for women, for children,

for disabled persons. and it's quite a desperate situation. really, very concerned that we don't have access at this point are estimates and from the analysis, this situation could continue for 3 to 6 months, at least. and as needless to say, we're very concerned about the people, not only the refugees, the internally displaced persons, but also the is in that region who are dependent on food assistance and other forms of humanitarian assistance. all the time. we're really very, very worried armenia's foreign minister has resigned the most significant political casualty, since the deal was made to hand of a part of the going to kind of uk it comes as the pressure is rising on prime minister and he called to step down. this has to address since the agreement with us by john after weeks of fighting machine on took responsibility for the loss of territory. but he reiterated, he will stay in office, bring stability to the country. has been widespread protests against the

concessions that he made about how meters in the armenian capital. yeah. van with more on the foreign minister's resignation. well, already heard is actually from his spokesperson, who posted on social media, the lecture that the foreign minister gave to prime minister hesham yan. and actually it was a handwritten letter, a very short, basically say thank you for working with you, but i am not doing that anymore. now the background to that according to the spokesperson, is that he didn't agree with what prime minister pushing and said during an extraordinary session of parliament, that session was only with his party because the opposition refused to attend the session simply because resignation and talk about resignation. was not on the table during the session, the prime minister said that the fate of shushi or call it had

always been part of the negotiations between the 2 countries over the past 20 years, where the spokesperson of the foreign minister said that that was absolutely not true, so they can see that each time prime minister tries to get himself out of trouble., he gets even more in deep water. richard geragos c.n.d., director of the regional studies center, a think tank in yerevan, says the domestic situation in the media has become increasingly unstable. well, i don't think it was enough because in many ways the prime minister's pressure, the threat to his position is much less an opposition that's largely discredited and much more result of his own rather impulsive, reckless actions and words. the government has done on far too little to prepare the population for the severity and scale of losses. so the tension is to linger,

and unfortunately, the domestic situation is dangerously increasingly on stable. in other words, pushing on came to power in 2018. men are rare, victory of nonviolent people power. at that point, he is greatest asset was being greatly underestimated. so i have yet to fully write him off politically. he is a survivor. and even the plot to assassinate him comes from a marginal abbots, terrorist group to the corrupt form of government. so i think his real political fate lies in his own hands, and it is a poor statesmanship, and much less impulse to posting on social media. so it's come here on now. and just as the number covered, $900.00 cases grows across the united states, thousands lined up for free just to survive. and the discovery from the ice age construction crews in mexico city on

a mammoth collection of creech is and in sport, the president is in tokyo, with updates are found. 7 to 10 next year's summer games to hear from him later in the program. how the weather set, barack ross, southern parts of the arabian peninsula, but still slightly different story further north, but more cloud here outs of turkey pushing across the caucasus, to northern parts of iran. so some showers right once again coming through here. notice the possibility of wanted to shout across northern sections of the gulf. i suspect here will stay dry temperatures getting up to 34 celsius on shoes day, a little cool, a little fresher, a 28 degrees. as we go on into the states should, as i say, stay a spot or 2 is right, but not too much. quite

a keen way to lift the dust in the sand. certainly a possibility. it is dry elsewhere across syria and potentially a dry to cause part of the the horn of africa. the wet weather is further south, big across central parts of africa as they should do, the seasonal rains continuing unabated. the short run is continuing their into southern parts of kenya, pushing into were tanzania, quite a bit of wet weather there, too. across much of angola, sliding down through both want to into central and eastern parts of south africa. more showers coming in here as we go on through wednesday should stay dry in mozambique wanted to showers that to the north. and there just a few showers cropping up, but again this is life on the streets of l.a. . from riyadh,

u.s. charges their top stories this hour u.s. pharmaceutical firm says its early results from its covert 19 vaccine show. it's nearly 95 percent effective. it's now in stage 3 time till trials. pfizer announced last week its vaccine is 90 percent effective. donald trump's national security adviser says the 1st step to solving the gulf is to end all planes to fly over saudi arabia, aspects of it. a bribe. speaking at a global security forum hosted in polish by qatar. he said he'd like to see that happen in the next 70 dates before the transition of office. saudi arabia,, the u.a.e. egypt, and bahrain posed on land, sea, and air blockade, and 2017 years government is sending reinforcements to its rest of northern to

great region to p.l.f. forces are appealing to the international community to condemn be offensive. but the government has ruled out any mediation efforts. the u.k. report is criticized saudi arabia for its human rights violations against women in detention. that's ahead of a g. 20 summit hosted by the saudi government next week. report was released by baroness helena kennedy. she's a member of parliament house, it states, there's clear and credible evidence that many women have been imprisoned and tortured for criticizing the government. a number of people were interviewed including former detainees and relatives of women's rights activists. report mentions allegations of torture, inhumane and degrading conditions of detention, solitary confinement and unfair trials. it concludes with a call on world leaders to boycott next week's g 20 summit in riyadh, unless the details are released. baroness helena kennedy is the author of the

report and member of the u.k. house of lords. she told us the international community needs to look at saudi arabia's human rights record. before thinking about trade with the kingdom i and a lawyer, a senior lawyer here in the united kingdom and, and i run an institute of human rights for the international bar association. so i'm, i look at the position of women internationally as one of the, one of the things that high is part of my remit. but i also raise human rights issues in the house of lords, which is part of our parliament. there are many countries that want to have good straight good relations with saudi arabia, but they should be making of a tear for their behaviors which are unacceptable and shouldn't be explained away as being about culture. there are some things are fundamental charge humanity, as men and women, and, and not to grant fair trial to these women,

to hold them in the ways that they have been excessive punishments and so forth. is truly, truly wrong. and, and it should be part of the discussions before these meetings about trade and so on and about the challenges in our contemporary world. one of the things that we have to be doing is cherishing the humanity of men and women both and. and so what we're saying is that this is saudi arabia's opportunity to show that it actually is listening to the world that it really is genuinely gaging with issues of human rights. and that it really is changing the position of women. and at the moment, they're not doing that. israel's ministry of housing has approved permits to build more than a 1000 illegal set, the homes in the occupied west bank. they would be built in a settlement that palestinians say cuts them off from east jerusalem houses on considered any golan to international law. high force that explains an unusual

move by e.u. diplomats designed to send a message to israel's government. driving in, convoy to a piece of internationally recognized palestinian territory, turned away by right wing israeli settler activists. a 2nd group made it to the summit of what israel calls give out how much toss to a similar reception you and you certainly get. israel has long planned to build a settlement here in contravention of international law. that like a final puzzle piece, would connect other settlements between bethlehem and jerusalem and sever a vital territorial link of a future palestinian state. the e.u. is demanding a reversal of israel's decision to issue tenders for the construction work on 1257 homes. just days before prime minister netanyahu hosts the us secretary of state, and bahrain's, foreign minister, you e.u., and back again, have signed the realization agreement in order to stop an extension. it was explicitly stated by the present of both countries. we're seeing right now here is

a defacto, an extension attempt, and that cannot go on, or we've come up back to this patch of land again now it's quieted to explore exactly why it's at the heart of this issue. if israel did build an illegal settlement here, it would cut off bethlehem from the palestinian neighborhood of occupied east jerusalem beit, suffer just over the brow of this hill, entirely isolating it behind illegal israeli settlements. it would also separate bethlehem from the rest of occupied east jerusalem beyond those buildings. and so that is why the e.u. why the p.a. is arguing that it would really jeopardize the territorial integrity of a future palestinian state. the other issue is the timing coming just ahead of the inauguration of president elect joe biden. in january when he was here as a vice president in 2010, there was a major incident when a new settlement enterprise was announced. it was a major rupture between the obama administration and that of benjamin netanyahu. it looks like things are being set up to cause another such rupture even ahead of joe

biden, taking office queues at a food bank in the u.s. state of texas. stretching for columbus's unemployment souls in the world's largest economy. thousands of people lined up. there they are at a local food bank in dallas to receive donations. the food that distributed nearly 300000 kilograms of food on saturday. food banks across the u.s. are under growing pressure to provide for a rising number of people being forced into poverty by the pandemic. the u.s. is the worst affected nation in the world with a 1000000 cases of koran, a virus added in just the last 6 days. and a korean is a senior director of marketing communications at north texas food bank. she says that today's numbers show that need for food has increased. this is actually the largest distribution we've ever had in north texas food bank history. so the need is very, very great. and you know, the food bank, not only do we have these kinds of distributions,

but we have hundreds of partners across north texas. senator should be eating food . and each one of them has reported a significant uptick in terms of the needs of folks that are coming through their doris, looking for that food assistance, many of whom are doing so for the 1st time, i have a great honor, an opportunity to meet with a few folks that were waiting in line and you know, one person actually parked their car at fair park at 10 o'clock the night prior to make sure that they were there in line and ready for this event. and that just tells me that if, if somebody is willing to do that, that the need is great. and one of the folks that i met with a gentleman by the name of manual, he told me that he is disabled. and that happened prior to kovan 1000, but his wife was able bodied and working, but she lost her job to the pandemic. he has 6 children at home. and he said that because we were able to provide him with a turkey and other holiday food that was going to replace the pasta meal spaghetti

that their family was going to have for thanksgiving. so he was truly grateful and hearing stories like that. and we heard many are, is just heartbreaking because it shows that, you know, there are a lot of people they want to work. but because of the pandemic, they're losing hours maybe getting laid off from their job, especially those in the service industry. i think that there are many, many people that need help, but there are just as many people that want to give that kind of help. and we always say that hunger is a nonpartisan issue. both sides of the aisle come together to, to meet the need to help our fellow neighbors. and that's the case here in north texas. i mean, you know, when this pandemic started, we really had no idea what was going to happen in terms of donations support, things like that. but people have come together to meet the need. and we've had so many generous donors that want to support this issue because they know that, you know, this really could be anybody u.k. prime minister, johnson has gone into self isolation after coming into contact with

shows really sort of quite a distinct kind of idea that people have about how they want their country to go forward. especially people who've had to leave the country in search of work instead of in search of opportunities because they simply have not found them here . and this is one of the things that my son who has campaigned on she's, she has been campaigning on the issue. the challenges of how to rebuild the country, how to build up a country from within. and even though she is optimistic about her when she still is very aware of the hard work that she faces ahead, the modern people prove that they can unite around the good people and that all the right objectives for the country. now the most difficult part comes, it was not easy to win this election as it's going to be more difficult to implement the commitments that i've made. but i know that we have

a lot of good people who are going to help. we have a very strong team gets we have all the turnstiles to get there. so all in all, it is really an interesting change that moldovans have voted for. the question is whether she can get parliament to be able to commit to her vision as well. the number of casualties from the deadliest toseland to hit the philippines. this year has climbed to 67. storms and heavy rain triggered severe flooding across the main . on the interviews on last week, hundreds of thousands of people are in need of food and shelter to be going to has more from province in the philippines, which is one of the worst affected areas are they in province, was not even under typhoon category. when vanpool hit the philippines last week, but the impact here is just as devastating. it took a few days before news about many communities that have been submerged,

started to come out. there were reports that the focus was largely on manila and nearby provinces. and even at this point, there are still many areas that remain inaccessible. over 50 cluster villages in a day and province are still inaccessible without connections to the many cities surrounding it. this is why relief operations had to be done by air. it's been almost a week since by fall in van gogh's truck, and more than $83000.00 residents have been displaced in the young province alone. this is a very difficult time for the philippines. this is the 3rd typhoon to hit the philippines in 3 weeks. the biggest one was by point gone over a week ago, which left thousands of people homeless and now by phone. what makes this devastating is how quickly this situation turned into a humanitarian crisis. government resources are stretched and the country is still reeling from the economic brunt of the coronavirus fund. demick military officials
