A powerful typhoon ripped
through the Philippines last
Friday, killing more than 1200
people, and leaving many more
injured with millions displaced
from their homes.
Hundreds of homes have been
flattened and scores of streets
flooded. Victims’ dead bodies
littered the streets.
The typhoon, named Haiyan,
ranks among the world’s
strongest with winds of up to
235mph and gusts of 170mph
which left a trail of destruction.
It triggered major landslides,
knocked out power and
communications and caused
catastrophic widespread
damage.
Hundreds of homes have been
flattened and scores of streets
flooded. Victims’ dead bodies
littered the streets.
The storm is now moving
towards mainland Asian and is
expected to reach Vietnam
coastal areas on Sunday
morning while humanitarian
experts estimate the number of
casualties will rise
considerably.
