PHILIPPINES : TYPHOON HAIYAN - Hostage - Nov 10 2013
With the death toll from 'super' typhoon Haiyan now estimated to be well over 10,000, the Philippines government and international aid agencies are engaged in a desperate struggle to get help to increasingly angry victims of what may have been the strongest storm ever to make landfall.
Philippines President Benigno Aquino was forced to walk out of a meeting with local government officials in Tacloban City, where 10,000 people alone are feared to have perished, after furious survivors interrupted it to berate him for the authorities' slow response to the disaster.
One of the worst hit areas was the coastal city of Tacloban, about 580 km southeast of Manila.
Typhoon Haiyan tore through it destroying everything in its path. Most of the deaths are believed to have been caused by surging sea water described as similar to a tsunami.
However with even the city’s airport smashed to pieces by the storm this will be no easy task.
City officials have reported widespread looting as authorities struggle to restore orde
The UN’s humanitarian agency says more than 330,900 people were displaced and 4.3 million affected by the typhoon in 36 provinces.
Many of the hospitals have had to close down. They're sending people away saying they can't help them because they have no medicine.
President Benigno Aquino III said the government’s priority was to restore power and communications in isolated areas and to get relief and medical assistance delivered.
