MANILA: The"painfully slow" reconstruction of a Philippine city flattened in a war with Islamic militants is causing discontent, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross said on Tuesday .
"It is painfully slow for the victims, painfully slow for those who have expectations, which are legitimate expectations, to go back," Maurer said. Demolition of blast-pocked buildings has begun, but after several false starts the government does not expect rebuilding to be finished before the end of 2021.
"I've felt that the president is certainly determined to support the Philippine Red Cross and ICRC in our respective efforts to accelerate this process and to encourage his own administration to do the best possible, to go back to a more accelerated pace of reconstruction."
