SIARGAO, Philippines – Hospital cases of diarrhea have hit 55 in Pilar town, Siargao Island since typhoon Odette pummeled the popular surf destination on December 16, 2021.

Dr. Ivan Anthony Resurreccion, municipal doctor at Pilar District Hospital, told Rappler over USF radio on Sunday, January 2, that they are also treating 30 individuals injured during the typhoon.The doctor described staff as embattled, noting that Odette severely damaged many medical equipment.But heavy rains since the New Year have flooded their work areas, including patients’ wards, the doctor said. Odette ripped off a substantial portion of the hospital’s roof.

“We are having tough times but we try our best to deliver despite the dire situation,” Resurreccion told Rappler.“The hospital is in its worst form; this is an unimaginable situation,” said hospital attendant Aida Cervantes.Baclaya said the hospital is short of medicines but aid is trickling in.“Nalipay kami sa ijo daya na mga tambay,”Basilio said he was huddled with two boys from Caridad, Lawrence, 2, and Gianne, 6, in a small section spared from dripping water.
