Four days after Typhoon Hai- yan struck the eastern Philip- pines, only a trickle of assistance has made to affected communi- ties. Authorities estimated the storm killed 10,000 or more across a vast swath of the coun- try. Millions are without shelter or food. Tacloban, a city of about 220,000 people on Leyte island, bore the full force of the winds and the tsunami-like storm surg- es. Most of the city is in ruins, a tangled mess of destroyed hous- es, cars and trees. Malls, garages and shops have all been stripped of food and water by hungry resi- dents. Just after dawn Tuesday, two Philippine Air Force C-130s arrived at its destroyed airport along with several commercial and private flights. More than 3,000 people who camped out at the building surged onto the tar- mac past a broken iron fence to get on the aircraft. Just a dozen soldiers and several police held them back. Mothers raised their babies high above their heads in the rain, in hopes of being priori- tized. One lady in her thirties lay on a stretcher, shaking uncon- trollably. Only a small number managed to board. "I was pleading with the sol- diers. I was kneeling and begging because I have diabetes," said Helen Cordial, whose house was n Uix'- , destroyed in the storm. "Do they want me to die in this airport? They are stone hearted." Most residents spent Monday night under pouring rain wher- ever they could - in the ruins of destroyed houses, in the open along roadsides and shredded trees. Some slept under tents brought in by the government or relief groups. Local doctors said they were desperate for medicines. Beside the ruined airport tower, at a small makeshift clinic with shattered windows, army and air force medics said they had treated around 1,000 people since the typhoon for cuts, bruises, lacerations, deep wounds. International aid groups and militaries are rushing assis- tance to the region, but little has arrived yet. Government officials and police and army officers have all been caught up in the disaster themselves, hampering coordi- nation. The USS George Washington aircraft carrier was expected to arrive off the coast in about two days, accordingto the Pentagon. A similar sized US ship, and its fleet of helicopters capable of dropping tons of water daily and evacuating wounded, was credited with saving scores of lives after the 2004 Asian tsu- nami. Joselito Caimoy, a 42-year-old truck driver, was one of the lucky ones at Tacloban airport. He was able to get his wife, son and 3-year-old daughter on a flight out. They embraced in a tear- ful goodbye, but Caimoy stayed behind to guard what's left of his home and property. "Thereis no water, no food,"he said. "People are just scavenging in the streets. People are asking food from relatives, friends. The devastation is too much ... the malls, the grocery stories have all been looted. They're empty. People are hungry. And they (the authorities) cannot control the people." Progress made despite failure to reach agreement DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Iran and the United States on Monday blamed each other for the failure to reach agreement on a deal to limit Iran's uranium enrichment in exchange for an easing of Western sanctions. In spite of the accusations, there was some diplomatic prog- ress as Iran promised to offer more information and expanded access to U.N. nuclear inspectors - including more openings at a planned reactor and uranium site. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Iranian envoys had backed away from a wider deal this weekend seeking to ease Western concerns that Tehran could one day develop atomic weapons. Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, coun- tered by criticizing Kerry's remarks, telling an Iranian TV talk show that the American's "conflicting statements" dam- aged confidence in the process, adding that "considerable prog- ress was made" in Geneva. The flurry of announcements and comments showed both the complexities and urgency in try- ing to move ahead on an accord between Iran and world powers after the talks in Geneva failed to produce a deal. With negotiators set to resume next week, Iranian officials pro- moted a separate pact reached with the U.N. nuclear chief Yuki- ya Amano as a "roadmap" for greater cooperation andtranspar- ency, which could'move the talks ahead. But the plans do not men- tion some of the sites most sought by U.N. teams to probe suspicions of nuclear-related work, notably the Parchin military facility out- side Tehran. "It's an important step for- ward, but by no means the end of the process," Amano told The Associated Press in Tehran. "There is still much work to be done." Western leaders, meanwhile, were keen to display a unified front after reports that France had broken ranks in Geneva and demanded more concessionsfrom Iran on enrichment levels and an under-construction heavy water reactor that produced a greater amount of plutonium byproduct, which could be used in eventual weapons production. Kerry said it was Iran that put the brakes on reaching a first-phase agreement, but gave no details on the Iranian concerns and suggested it was only a matter of time before a for- mula is found. "There was unity but Iran couldn't take it," Kerry said dur- ingastop inAbuDhabi. He added: "The French signed off on it, we signed off on it." Kerry told the BBC on Monday that negotiators had been "very, very close ... extremely close" to reachinga deal with Iran. "I think we were separated by four or five different formulations of a particular concept," he said. In the BBC interview, Kerry acknowledged "the French have been more vocal about one thing or another." But he said, "the fact is that we had a unity on Saturday in a proposal put in front of the Iranians. But because of some the changes they felt they had to go back and change it." Later Monday, Zarif criticized Kerry's remarks that blamed Iran for lack of a deal when asked about, them on an Iranian TV talk show. "Conflicting statements harm the credibility of the one who keeps changing positions and damages confidence. The goal of dialogue is to reduce the lack of trust. Conflicting talk doesn't give credit to the person saying it," Zarif said. He said "considerable prog- ress" was made during three days of talks in Geneva but claimed that most of the hours were spent with the U.S., Russia, China, Brit- ain, France and Germany trying "to resolve differences among themselves." He said he's still hopeful a deal will be reached, but insisted any agreement must include the lifting of all Western sanctions against Iran. British Foreign'Secretary Wil- liam Haguesaid the world powers presented a united front to Iran at the weekend talks that failed to reach an accord, and although "some gaps" remained between parties at the talks, "most ofthose gaps are narrow." In Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that an over- all deal is likely between Iran and world powers, which would undercut Israeli threats to launch military action against Iranian nuclear sites. Yet he hailed the delay as a chance to "achieve a much better deal." "The target date for this deal is the date on which agood deal will be achieved that will deny Iran a military nuclear capability," he told Israel's parliament Monday. For Netanyahu and his backers, however, hopes have all but evap- orated that Iran can be forced by negotiators to completely end its ability to make nuclear fuel. It's now unclear what type of deal would satisfy Israel, which sees a nuclear-armed Iran as a threat to its existence. Iran has denied it seeks nucle- ar arms and insists its only seeks reactors for energy and medical applications. Iranian officials portrayed the expanded U.N. access as further sign it seeks to work with the West. Under the plans, announced at a joint news conference, Iran would allow inspectors a first- time visit of its key Gachin ura- nium mine on the Gulf coast and give broader access to the heavy water facility being built in the central city of Arak. Heavy water reactors use a different type of coolant to produce a greater amount of plutonium byprod- uct than conventional reac- tors. Inspectors from the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency have already visited the reactor site but seek more exten- sive examinations. ,1 0 A f
