A worker unloads relief goods from a truck to be distributed at the evacuation centre in Gogon town, Legazpi city, December 22, 2006. Typhoon Durian killed more than 1,000 people when its high winds and rains sent tonnes of mud and water crashing from Mount Mayon, the country's most active volcano, onto nearby villages in the Bicol region last month. The United Nations appealed for $46 million to help feed, clothe and rebuild the lives of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos in the central region of Bicol, known as the country's welcome mat for typhoons.
