Categories: East Asia, Philippines, Breaking News, Digital Activism, Disaster, Governance, Humanitarian Response, Politics, Protest

Ella's Blog from the Philippines posts photos [1] of donated goods intended for typhoon victims rotting in government warehouses. The expose has sparked fears that the goods might be misused to support administration candidates in next year's elections. The original site [2] shows a “404 Not Found error” when it is accessed but the contents have been reposted by concerned citizens in blogs and social networks.
