Navy
Officials have declared that the USNS Mercy, a hospital ship, has just received orders on Wednesday
afternoon to prepare on giving aid to the victims of Super Typhoon Haiyan
(Yolanda local).
Military
Sealift Command spokeswoman, Sarah Buford, said The Mercy is currently preparing for the said
mission and could probably leave San
Diego in the duration of five days if ordered to deploy. Navy officials
also say that it could arrive in the Philippines sometime in December.
Other than the USNS Mercy, other help from
vessels have already begun as the USS
George Washington Aircraft Carrier Battle Group has deployed vessels, Okinawa-based Marines were sent to the Philippines and have been in the island
country for several days, along with San Diego-based guided-missile cruiser, USS Cowpens, has left a port stop in Hong Kong earlier than planned to set
sail to the Philippines.
Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) struck last
Friday and created complete devastation to entire towns, debris-covered roads,
and airports and other transportation services out of service.
The storm has also been recorded to have
destroyed at least 80,000 homes and an estimate number of 582,000 according to
the Philippines government accounting.
The mercy has been a savior to also other
catastrophes and victims from the tsunami in Indonesia in 2005 and earthquake
victims in Haiti in 2010 by being sent of humanitarian missions.
