MSF surgeon Johan Von Schreeb and a Filippino medical staff member treat a patient in Guiuan, in the east of Samar island, an area hit first and hard by the typhoon. The damage there is extensive and the needs huge. Almost all the buildings in the town were destroyed. The local medical facilities are also severely damaged and not functional.
