It’s hard to see a future for Tacloban, one month on. But look beyond the shattered buildings, the piles of rubble, the smashed-up cars and you can see Tacloban rising, writes Joe Lowry, IOM.
Everywhere, men (...) are hard at work, clearing up and making good. Women are cleaning, washing, buying and selling, keeping their kids busy and happy. And there are Christmas decorations.
Tacloban is not Times Square or Oxford Street, but it’s all the more joyful and seasonal in its defiance, it its refusal to give up.
