CEO Dr. Martina Fuchs traveled to Bantayan Island to assess the medical situation following Typhoon Haiyan (the main hospital suffered serious damage) and learned that the typhoon practically decimated the fishing industry as well; 90% of households depend on fishing. Here are a few photographs from that trip.
