Difficulties are being faced in rescue operations
1500 policemen have been sent to the affected areas for relief and rescue operations. Regional police chief Brigadier Andre Dizon said, “We can’t rescue everyone at once because the number of people is so high. We need additional motor boats. We can rescue those affected who cannot be evacuated immediately.” “We are considering ways to deliver food and other essential items.” Officials said that the weather remained extremely bad, due to which rescue operations were becoming difficult.
