We asked them to leave yesterday. I had some of the villages checked again today, because some people didn't want to leave their homes. |
We have decided to end our search and rescue operation... to give way for the construction of evacuation centers. |
We have decided to move on to recovery and rehabilitation of survivors because our greater responsibility ... is to rebuild the lives of those who have been devastated by this disaster. |
We'll resume first hour in the morning tomorrow [Saturday]. |
You don't see any houses any more. I saw only four rooftops that were covered by water; everything else was covered by mud. |
