 The George Washington strike group delivered food, water and medical supplies to villagers in Gui Wan in support of Operation Damayuan. The small Philippine village was hit by super typhoon Haiyan, leaving residents with damaged homes and a lack of everyday necessities. The strike group worked with the Philippine government to help nearly 400 villagers moving them to safety. Helicopters assigned to the strike group airlifted more than 3,000 gallons of water, 24,000 pounds of food and 2,500 pounds of general supplies. The Philippine government moved George Washington's medical staff to rural health centers, where they provided medical care and supplies. The Navy expects to deliver more than 45,000 pounds of food and dry goods to Gui Wan. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson.
