Relatives react after confirming the identity of a loved one killed from floods brought on by the continuous rains of Typhoon Ketsana, locally known as Ondoy, inside a morgue in the town of Tanay, Rizal east of Manila September 28, 2009. The Philippines appealed for international aid to help tens of thousands marooned by flashfloods, and apologised for the delays in rescue efforts to avoid potential political fallout from the crisis.
