PHILIPPINES-TYPHOON/

A Filipino family plants candles and offers prayers to their loved ones who died at the spot where their homes used to stand before the community was swept by mud and floodwaters in Padang village, Legazpi city, central Philippines December 23, 2006. Typhoon Durian killed more than 1,000 people when its high winds and rains sent tonnes of mud and water crashing from Mount Mayon, the country's most active volcano, onto nearby villages in the Bicol region last month. The United Nations appealed for $46 million to help feed, clothe and rebuild the lives of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos in the central region of Bicol, known as the country's welcome mat for typhoons.
