18 November 2013 
Zehn Tage nachdem der Taifun Haiyan Land erreichte, tragen Überlebende in Tolosa, auf Leyte, einer Insel der Zentralphilippinen, in einer Prozession religiöse Statuen. Haiyan, einer der stärksten Taifune, die je gemeldet worden sind, raste über 47 Provinzen und verursachte enorme Verwüstungen. Über eine Million Häuser wurden beschädigt, die Hälfte davon total zerstört und über vier Millionen Menschen flüchteten. Große Gebiete verfügten wochenlang weder über Strom noch über ausreichend Wasser und die zerstörte Infrastruktur erschwerte die Verteilung von Nahrungsmitteln und ärztliche Versorgung. Viele Leute zogen in weniger betroffene Gebiete, wie die Hauptstadt Manila und manche Städte meldeten, dass sich die Zahl ihrer Einwohner fast verdoppelte.


Tolosa, Leyte, Philippines
Survivors carry religious images, ten days after Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the central Philippines. One of the strongest typhoons ever recorded, Haiyan raged through 47 provinces, causing immense destruction. Over a million houses were damaged, half of them totally destroyed, and more than 4 million people were displaced. Large areas were left without electricity or an adequate water supply for weeks, and the devastation of infrastructure made food distribution and medical services difficult. Many people made their way to less-affected areas, such as the capital Manila, and some cities reported a near doubling of their populations.


Diez días después de que el tifón Haiyan tocara tierra, los supervivientes llevan imágenes religiosas en Tolosa, en la isla de Leyte, Filipinas central. Haiyan, uno de los tifones más fuertes jamás registrados, causó estragos en 47 provincias y provocó una destrucción extraordinaria. Más de un millón de casas resultaron dañadas, la mitad de ellas totalmente destruidas, y más de cuatro millones de personas tuvieron que abandonar sus hogares. Muchos lugares quedaron sin suministro eléctrico ni de agua durante semanas, y toda esta devastación en la infraestructura dificultó en gran medida la distribución de alimentos y recursos médicos. Muchas personas se desplazaron a regiones menos afectadas, tales como Manila, la capital; algunas ciudades llegaron a casi doblar su población.


Dix jours après le passage du typhon Haiyan, des survivants portent des symboles religieux à Tolosa, sur l’île de Leyte, au centre des Philippines. Haiyan, l’un des plus puissants typhons jamais enregistrés, a dévasté 47 provinces, causant un énorme ravage, laissant plus d’un million d’habitations endommagées dont la moitié entièrement détruites, et faisant plus de 4 millions de déplacés. De vastes zones sont restées sans électricité ni eau pendant des semaines, et la destruction des infrastructures a rendu difficiles la distribution de vivres et les soins médicaux. De nombreux habitants sont partis vers des zones moins touchées, comme Manille, la capitale, et certaines villes ont vu le nombre de leurs habitants presque doubler.


Dieci giorni dopo la furia del tifone Haiyan, alcuni sopravvissuti portano in processione immagini religiose a Tolosa, sull’isola di Leyte, nelle Filippine centrali. Haiyan, uno degli uragani più forti mai registrati, si è abbattuto violentemente su 47 province, causando devastazione ovunque. Oltre un milione le case danneggiate, metà delle quali totalmente distrutte e più di quattro milioni gli sfollati. Per settimane, vaste aree sono rimaste senza elettricità e adeguato approvvigionamento idrico e la distruzione delle infrastrutture ha reso difficili la distribuzione di cibo e i servizi medici. Molte persone si sono dirette verso le zone meno colpite, come la capitale Manila, e in alcune città la popolazione è pressoché raddoppiata.


Tien dagen nadat de tyfoon Haiyan land bereikte, dragen overlevenden heiligenbeelden door Tolosa op het eiland Leyte, in het centrale deel van de Filipijnen. Haiyan was een van de krachtigste tyfoons die ooit is geregistreerd en richtte enorme schade aan in 47 provincies. Van de ruim 1 miljoen gebouwen die werden getroffen, was de helft volledig verwoest. Ruim 4 miljoen mensen raakten dakloos. Grote gebieden zaten wekenlang zonder stroom en drinkwatervoorziening. De voedselhulp en medische dienstverlening werden belemmerd door de verwoeste infrastructuur. Velen trokken naar minder zwaar getroffen delen van het land, zoals de hoofdstad Manilla, waardoor in sommige steden de bevolking bijna verdubbelde.


Sobreviventes de tufão Haiyan transportam imagens religiosas em Tolosa, na ilha de Leyte, no centro das Filipinas, dez dias após a tempestade ter atingido a costa. Considerado um dos tufões mais fortes já registados, o Haiyan assolou 47 províncias, causando imensa destruição. Mais de um milhão de casas ficaram danificadas, metade delas totalmente destruídas, e mais de 4 milhões de pessoas foram deslocadas. Amplas áreas ficaram sem eletricidade ou sem abastecimento adequado de água durante semanas, e a devastação das infraestruturas dificultou a distribuição de alimentos e os serviços médicos. Muitas pessoas encaminharam-se para áreas menos afetadas, como a capital Manila, e algumas cidades registaram quase a duplicação das suas populações.


Через десять дней после того, как тайфун Хайян обрушился на Филиппины, в Толосе, на острове Лейт, в центральной части страны, состоялась религиозная процессия выживших. Хайян, один из самых сильных тайфунов в истории, прошел через 47 провинций, причинив огромные разрушения. Более миллиона домов были повреждены, половина из них – полностью разрушена. Более четырех миллионов человек были вынуждены покинуть свои жилища. Значительные территории оставались без электричества и водоснабжения на протяжении нескольких недель, разрушение инфраструктуры осложнило доставку продовольствия и медикаментов. Многие люди перебрались в менее пострадавшие районы, например в столицу Филиппин Манилу. В результате население некоторых городов увеличилось почти в два раза.
