damaged homes after it was washed ashore in Tacloban city, Leyte province,
central
Philippines on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013. The city remains littered with debris from damaged homes as many
complain of shortages of food and water and no electricity since Typhoon Haiyan slammed into their
province. Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms on record, slammed into six central Philippine
islands on Friday, leaving a wide swath of destruction and scores of people dead.

The storm has now made landfall in north Vietnam, near the
Chinese border, but has weakened to a tropical storm. One of the most
powerful storms on record to make landfall, Haiyan - named "Yolanda"
by Filipino authorities - barrelled into the eastern coastal provinces of Leyte
and Samar on Friday. It then headed west, sweeping through six central
Philippine islands.
