A rescue team from Ireland has flown an inflatable hospital into the Philippines.

Médecins Sans Frontières has sent nine cargo planes full of equipment over, to help survivors of last week's super typhoon.

It had twenty staff on the ground within 24 hours of the storm landing, and will have another 80 there by the end of this week.

Jane-Ann McKenna says getting supplies into smaller areas is proving to be a 'logistical nightmare'.
