Aid from the United States was welcome in the Philippines after twin typhoons diminished the country's food and gasoline reserves and caused 600 deaths. "There is nearly zero gasoline supply now, and we're running low on food," said the police chief of Baguio, a town located north of Manila. The U.S. sent helicopters loaded with supplies to the Philippines on Sunday.
