there's no way to know how many people have died in this area. but you can smell it in the air. it's everywhere. and that's just a few blocks from where i'm standing. you find bodies still here all over the place. there's a few people actually collecting. there's very little organization in terms of the philippines side. that's one of the frustrating things for people here. they're not getting information. they're not getting food. they're not getting water. and their needs are great. they really have nothing. everything has been wiped out. i want to bring in barbara starr. we're seeing an increased effort now by the united states here on the ground and also an increased promised effort. barbara, i know you just got off i believe the phone from general kennedy who's frustrated. what are you hearing? >> reporter: that's right, anderson. in the next several hours he's headed in your direction.
