AMYGOODMAN: News reports in the Philippines are saying people are walking around like zombies, in shock after the typhoon. Jamela, we’re also joined by Maria Madamba-Nuñez, a spokesperson from Oxfam in the Philippines. She has also made it back to Manila but has been traveling through some of these devastated areas. Maria, welcome to Democracy Now! Describe what you have seen.
MARIAMADAMBA-NUÑEZ: Oh, hi. I’ve not actually been to the areas myself, but our teams have been.
