Red Cross says as much as $22m is needed to support more than 400,000 people over the next two years.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) estimates Super Typhoon Rai destroyed or damaged a “staggering” number of houses as it tore across the Philippines in December, leaving more than 400 people dead.

In an update on Tuesday, the IFRC said its assessments indicated the storm destroyed or damaged “a staggering 1.5 million houses, more than any other typhoon in recent decades”.

Rai, with winds of up to 193 kilometres per hour (120 miles per hour), made landfall in the country’s surfing capital of Siargao, a tiny island in eastern Mindanao with a population of roughly 180,000 people.

According to the provincial government, more than 90 percent of the buildings on the island, including schools and town halls, were severely damaged.

The entire island has been without power ever since and remains reliant on electric generators that provide limited supply, while many of its residents are living in makeshift structures and even evacuation centres.

In one small village of Cangcohoy, inland from Siargao, 15 families continue to shelter in a school building after their homes were destroyed, according to the ANC, a Filipino cable news channel. Many of those families also lost their livelihoods, and they have been relying on aid, mostly from private donors, to survive.

The IFRC said the needs remained immense.

“It’s a little over one month since Typhoon Rai slammed into the Philippines, yet millions of people still urgently need humanitarian support, including homes, clean water supplies and healthcare,” IFRC country head Alberto Bocanegra said in a statement.

Sheikh Bilal camp, Syria – The residents of the Sheikh Bilal camp for internally displaced people in Afrin, northwestern Syria, are struggling to keep their homes intact after a fierce winter storm brought more than a foot of snow.

As children built snowmen and took part in snowball fights in the subzero temperatures on Thursday, their parents struggled to fix their collapsed tents and clear the roads of snow.

Some 160 families have been trapped by the storm for the past two days, and are struggling to keep their tents from breaking.

“When the snowstorm started, I prayed to God that it would be light, but it just kept getting worse,” Douja Al Ali, who has lived in the camp for the internally displaced for four years, told Al Jazeera. “Everything is freezing! We need help!”

At least one child has died after a tent collapsed, and their mother is in the intensive care unit.

The millions of internally displaced people and refugees living in tented settlements in Syria have long struggled to cope in the winter, but the United Nations has said this year is far worse, amid rising poverty and dwindling aid.

An overwhelming 97 percent of people in northwestern Syria live in extreme poverty, and more than two-thirds of the four million living there are internally displaced. It is the last opposition stronghold in the war-torn country, and parts of it are still hit with routine air raids by the Syrian and Russian forces.

No single person on this list can single-handedly “break” the mass formation psychosis. This is just a list of people who can “move the needle” if they speak out and let people know that they haven’t been told the truth about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. Some of the people on my list are more likely than others to speak out.

Highly likely

1. Over 10,000 healthcare professionals signing a petition calling for an end to both mask and vaccinate mandates and asymptomatic testing for all. The “emergency” is over as Dr. Harvey Risch eloquently stated in this op-ed.
2. More and more prominent people calling for end to vaccine and mask mandates like Scott Gottleib did on Jan 24, 2022.
3. More and more people who are willing to watch the Johnson panel on Jan 24, 2022 (it was 500,000 views on the day of the panel) or watch Defeat the Mandate rally speakers on Jan 23 to be educated on the truth.
4. More and more people who are willing to sit down for a couple of hours with a doctor to learn the truth. We’ll record these “de-programming” sessions and make them available for others to see. No psychological manipulation is needed: just people willing to listen and ask questions. A very prominent philanthropist was “red pilled” by one of our doctors in just a single 2 hour Q&A session.

Possible

1. A group of over 10,000 mainstream doctors could sign a statement calling for a halt to the vaccines for everyone. By speaking out as a large group like this, they can avoid the intimidation tactics that are used to silence them when they attempt to speak out individually.
2. A professional sports team (NFL, NBA, …) could agree to hear from our doctors to hear “the other side of the story” on the booster.
3. Famous people who refuse to be vaccinated could end their silence and start spreading the truth about the dangers of the vaccine.
4. Prominent vaccine injured such as Celine Dion could start speaking the truth about what happened to them.

Low-probability

1. President Joe Biden could admit that his peripheral neuropathy (PN) that developed shortly after his booster was more likely than not due to the booster. PN is a very common COVID vaccine injury.
2. Governor Newsom could admit the truth: that he developed GBS shortly after his booster.
3. A fact-checking organization could challenge Governor Newsom to publicly authorize all his physicians to disclose his medical records ONLY with respect to the GBS he developed after his booster. If in fact Newsom is telling the truth, has has nothing to lose. He will not do this. He will never do this. And no fact-checker wants to know the truth so won’t challenge him to do this simple act.
4. Jennifer Newsom could admit that her husband is lying about his GBS. She could save countless lives by doing that.
5. The NY Times or 60 Minutes could do a story exposing how dangerous the vaccines are.
6. CNN could start being journalists and present to their listeners BOTH sides of the story. Why do you never see Paul Marik, Pierre Kory, Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, and others on CNN?
7. The 270 “physicians and scientists” who claimed that Robert Malone was spreading misinformation could agree to challenge his statements in a debate. I issued an open letter inviting them to do so. Nobody responded. If they want to stop the misinformation, why not accept a debate?
8. Dr. John Su could admit that he never calculated the VAERS under-reporting factor (URF) and that he deliberately never mentioned it when he talked about VAERS event rates to the outside CDC committees.
9. One of the pilots who died after vaccination was scheduled to fly a plane just a few days after he died. The airline knows his autopsy showed he was killed by the vaccine. Today, the airline won’t admit that they lied to the public about his cause of death (they said it wasn’t vaccine related). His family won’t speak out because they are afraid of being attacked.
10. Mainstream doctors could admit that when there is risk, there must be choice. The vaccines carry risk. Therefore, mandates are unjustified.
11. Mainstream doctors could agree to debate the “spreaders of misinformation.”

Kremlin sees Kyiv’s military buildup near LPR, DPR border as preparations for offensive

Ukraine’s military buildup along the border with the self-proclaimed Luhansk (LPR) and Donetsk (DPR) People’s Republics indicates ongoing preparations for an offensive, and such threat really exists, the Kremlin said.

“Indeed, the Ukrainian authorities are massing enormous forces and hardware along the border with the self-proclaimed republics on the contact line. Indeed, the nature of this buildup points to ongoing preparations for an offensive, and such a threat does exist at the moment,” Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

“And, indeed, each given piece of weaponry, whether it be a defensive weapon or an offensive one, once again prompts the hotheads in Kyiv to launch this operation. We can’t help but be concerned about it. We’ve been talking about it for a long time,” he said.

“And in this case we certainly would like NATO countries in their numerous statements to call on Kyiv every time to not even contemplate any possible military settlement in Ukraine,” Peskov said. [?!]

Donetsk independence demonstration..Kiev actively preparing for forceful resolution of Donbass conflict, DPR says

Ukraine continues its attempts to destabilize the situation in Donbass and is actively preparing to resolve the conflict by force, Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) People’s Militia deputy head Eduard Basurin stated Monday

“Ukraine not only continues its attempts to destabilize the situation in Donbass by shelling settlements, and preparations are well underway to resolve the conflict by force. The People’s Militia command strongly urges its adversary to drop its criminal intents,” says the emergency statement, published in the People’s Militia’s Telegram channel.

The People’s Militia registered Ukrainian Armed Forces’ (UAF) inside the Kiev’ force operation in Donbass preparing for an offensive. According to Basurin, the Ukrainian command is pulling the UR-77 self-propelling minesweepers to the contact line, and military vehicles are being prepared for combat.

Vacations for all personnel in individual battalions and brigades have been suspended, while all commanders were ordered to remain in their temporary deployment locations. In addition, commissions arrived in tank battalions from brigade headquarters to supervise the preparation of weapons and combat vehicles.

The DPR intelligence also obtained information about the formation of armored brigades deeper in Ukrainian territory and their dispatch to Donbass. Furthermore, Ukraine is relocating forces from their permanent deployment location in the Odessa region, disguised as a “planned tactical special exercise.” All these facts confirm that the UAF is preparing for aggression against the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Basurin says.

Donetsk Republic head confirms US Javelin anti-tank missiles present in Donbass. Cost $80,000 a shot.

The People’s Militia stated that it will provide a response, should Kiev commence the forceful resolution of the Donbass conflict, and it will cause irreparable damage to the UAF.

“Acts of Ukrainian aggression against the DPR and LPR will not be left without an appropriate reaction. The Ukrainian army will suffer irreparable damage that it will not recover from,” Basurin said, calling on Ukrainian servicemen to “reject taking part in hostilities and executing the criminal orders of their command.”

====

US-made Javelin anti-tank missile systems are present on the territory of Donbass, the Head of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin said in a live broadcast on the Rossiya-1 TV Channel on Monday.

“As for the Javelins, they are present on the territory of Donbass but not at the engagement line,” the DPR head said.

The information on deliveries of NLAW anti-tank missile systems to Ukraine has so far not been confirmed. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues conducting reconnaissance with the help of Turkish-made Bayraktar drones “actually on a daily basis,” he added.
