Nurses raise funds to send colleagues to help in typhoon aftermath

Nurses are raising funds to send Filipino colleagues back home to work with communities destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan.

Up to three trained nurses will spend a month in frontline hospitals in disaster-affected areas, with another three returning to areas where the lives of family and friends were left devastated.

More than 6,000 people were killed, tens of thousands injured or left homeless, and hospitals damaged when winds of up to 275kph battered the south of the Philippines last month.
