Local Help for Victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines

Local television and radio stations will raise money in Cathedral City on Tuesday for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

KESQ News Channel 3, CBS Local 2, KUNA-TV, La Poderosa 96.7 FM and the Desert Radio Group will hold a drive for the International Red Cross from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at Palm Springs Motors, 69-200 Highway 111.

All funds will go directly to the Red Cross for food, water and medical supplies, according to KESQ.

An estimated 10,000 people are feared dead as a result of the typhoon, which unleashed 200-plus-mile-an-hour winds and wreaked havoc in the central Philippines late Friday and early Saturday.
