The aftermath of typhoon Haiyan is so much worse than anyone could have expected. Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez told CNN it is “entirely possible” that 10,000 people may have died in the storm in Leyte province. He continued to describe the conditions as “worse than hell.”
In many parts where the storm hit there is no electricity, food, water and buildings are down to rubble with bodies scattered.
Hospitals are running low on supplies and thousands are seeking food and shelter. Many of the people in the city with a population of 200,000, are angry at the authorities’ slow response to the disaster.
