AUSTRALIA

-US$10 million package

***

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says the Australian Government will contribute $10 million in aid, which will include $390,500 of emergency supplies previously announced by Ms Bishop on Saturday.

"I have approved a $10 million package of humanitarian assistance. This comprises the urgent deployment of an Australian medical assistance team - at a cost of about $1 million, $3 million to be deployed through Australian non-government organisations, $4 million to the United Nations flash appeal," she said.

"[We will also contribute] $1 million for additional food items and non-food items, which includes the funding already announced - so tarps, mosquito nets, water containers and the like, and $1 million to the Red Cross to assist in their disaster response efforts."

***

The Australian government is sending a self-sustained hospital complete with operating room, generators, water purifiers, doctors, surgeons, nurses and all. Furthermore, should there be worst medical cases, patients will be airlifted to Royal Darwin Hospital as Darwin is only 4 hours away from the Philippines by plane. Australian armed forces already have standby planes and helicopters to assist Philippine Armed forces to scout remote areas for rescue operations.

VATICAN

- $150,000

***

VATICAN CITY -- VATICAN CITY (AP) â€” Pope Francis has led tens of thousands of people at the Vatican in silent prayer for the victims of the typhoon that has ravaged the Philippines.

The pope told a crowd of pilgrims, tourists and Romans in St. Peter's Square on Sunday that he wanted to assure the people of the Philippines and surrounding region that he feels close to them. He lamented the high toll of dead and the enormous damage, then requested silent prayer for "our brothers and sisters." Francis also said: "let us try to get our concrete aid" to those suffering from the storm.

The Philippines has the largest number of Catholics in Asia, and Filipinos are one of Rome's biggest immigrant communities. - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/
