American Red Cross volunteer, Winnie Romeril, shares her one-minute update from Tacloban. Global Red Cross teams have been working non-stop to provide relief to survivors of Typhoon Haiyan, which made landfall in the Philippines nearly 100 days ago. Since the typhoon struck, the American Red Cross has spent or committed $28 million to the relief effort. This money is being used to purchase and distribute relief items such as food, blankets, hygiene kits and mosquito nets, and to provide cash grants to families as they address storm-related needs.
