Tacloban, a coastal city southeast of Manila, bore
the brunt with villages as far as one kilometer from
the shore flooded. Most of the deaths appear to
have been caused by surging sea water strewn with
debris that many said resembled a tsunami.
“People are walking like zombies looking for
food,” said Jenny Chu, a medical student in Leyte
province. “It’s like a movie.” The scale of the
typhoon’s apocalyptic destruction is now starting to
emerge. Strong, sustained winds exceeded 315
kilometers per hour, leveling entire towns.

The scenes in Tacloban are of absolute devastation.
The vast majority of the thousands killed by typhoon Haiyan
died in the coastal city on the Philippine island of Leyte.
Barely a building remains standing in some areas. Local
people describe a giant wave hitting the city of 200,000
people, destroying everything in its path.

Emergency relief efforts are underway amid
the devastation caused by Super Typhoon
Haiyan. Reports suggest widespread shortages
of food, water and medicine, with President
Benigno Aquino deploying soldiers to some of
the worst hit areas. The US has also sent
approximately 90 Marines and sailors to the
Philippines. The city of Tacloban is one of the
worst hit areas, as seen in this video from the
World Food Programme.

World sends emergency
relief to battered
Philippines


The United States, Australia and the United
Nations are mobilizing emergency aid to the
Philippines as the scale of the devastation unleashed
by Super Typhoon Haiyan emerges. The Pentagon is
sending military personnel and equipment to assist
with the relief effort following the typhoon, which
may have killed more than 10,000 people in what is
feared to be the country's worst natural disaster. "The
United States is already providing significant
humanitarian assistance, and we stand ready to
further assist the government's relief and recovery
efforts," US President Barack Obama said in a
statement.

Some 90 Marines and sailors, and two KC130J Hercules aircraft, left Japan for the
Philippines on Saturday, with equipment
including tilt-rotor aircraft which can operate
without runways, Marines Colonel John Peck
said.


The Australian government pledged Aus$10 million
dollars (US$9.38 million), with Foreign Minister Julie
Bishop describing the unfolding tragedy as
"absolutely devastating" and on a "massive scale".
The sum includes Aus$4 million towards a UN
global appeal and Aus$3 million for Australian nongovernment organizations. The aid will include
tarpaulins, sleeping mats, mosquito nets, water
containers and health and hygiene kits. A team of
Australian medics will leave on Wednesday via a C17
military transport plane from Darwin to join disaster
experts already on the ground, the government said,
after it disbursed emergency funds worth
US$490,000 on Sunday.

United Nations leader Ban Ki-moon promised
UN humanitarian agencies would "respond
rapidly to help people in need".
The UN children's fund UNICEF said a cargo
plane carrying 60 tonnes of aid including shelters
and medicine would arrive in the Philippines
Tuesday, to be followed by deliveries of water
purification and sanitation equipment.


Pope Francis led 60,000 people in Sunday
prayers for the Philippines, urging the faithful
to provide "concrete help" to the largely
Roman Catholic country.


The European Commission said it would
give three million euros ($4 million) towards
the relief efforts.
Britain offered an emergency support
package worth $9.6 million. Germany's
embassy in Manila said an initial shipment of
23 tonnes of aid was being flown in and
German rescue teams were already at work.


The British Embassy on Sunday said United
Kingdom will be sending up to £6 million or
about P414 million in additional aid for
humanitarian efforts. This tops an earlier aid
of £4 million or P276 million set for
emergency responses on the Zamboanga
violence and Bohol earthquake.
