As many as 1,200
people are feared dead in two cities alone after Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of
the most powerful storms ever recorded slammed into the central islands of
Philippines. "We estimate 1,000 people were killed in Tacloban and 200 in
Samar province, or could be more, Gwendolyn Pang, secretary general of the
Philippine Red Cross, said after the storm hit some places on Friday.
The storm knocked
out power and communications making it difficult for people to communicate. Buildings
collapsed on people, dead bodies are seen littered on the streets. And
authorities are saying the death toll could rise up to 10,000 because the storm
is now moving towards mainland Asian and will also reach Vietman coastal areas.
It is said to be the deadliest storm ever in history. More pictures after the cut.
