The world has shared the frustration of aid workers facing the difficulties of getting help across those last few miles to storm-crushed areas of the Philippines. Today the last hurdles are being overcome, and ShelterBoxes will be on their way to provide hope to these devastated families.

ShelterBox Chief Executive Alison Wallace spoke to BBC World News today about how ShelterBox is helping the families affected by Typhoon Haiyan. A ShelterBox disaster relief tent was also pitched outside BBC’s Broadcasting House, raising valuable awareness of our work.

Alison says, ‘This is the phase we have all been working towards. The toughest journey for any relief operation is always the last few miles into the disaster zone itself.’
