Philippine Official Fired for Estimate of 10,000 Dead From TyphoonBy Robert Mackey 











A BBC News crew accompanied two sisters searching for their parents on the island of Leyte on Thursday.

As the desperate search for survivors continued in the Philippines on Thursday, a senior police commander was fired for telling reporters last weekend that the death toll from the typhoon that devastated the nation could exceed 10,000, according to a government news agency.
The Philippines News Agency, under the control of the president’s office, reported that Elmer Soria, the chief superintendent for the central Philippines province of Leyte, “was relieved from his post” for sharing the alarming estimate, which was quickly a focus of reports from the local news media and international news organizations.
“We all know that Chief Superintendent Elmer Soria has been through a lot for the past days and may be experiencing what you call ‘acute stress reaction,’ ” the Philippine National Police said in a statement to the local broadcaster ABS-CBN News. “As such, it was deemed by higher headquarters that he might need to go through a stress debriefing.”  Read more…

Updated 1:35 p.m., Nov. 14 The effects of Typhoon Haiyan’s destructive path on remote areas of the central Philippines are being pieced together as the authorities, journalists and relief workers are finally reaching hard-hit small towns and island fishing villages in eastern Samar Province. 
What they are finding is widespread destruction and dazed survivors, desperate for food, water and medicine. They are learning of lives lost,  but the overall estimated death toll from the storm, once feared at 10,000, has been significantly lowered to 2,500, President Benigno S. Aquino said on Wednesday.
International relief efforts, hampered by security concerns, have been initially focused on Talcoban, a coastal city of about 220,000, as my colleague Keith Bradsher reported.   Read more…

Messages to and From Survivors of Typhoon HaiyanBy Jennifer Preston

Updated 7:35 a.m., Nov. 12 The messages to loved ones from survivors of Typhoon Haiyan were scrawled on paper plates and scraps of paper. Jiggy Manicad collected them as he reported on the devastation from Tacloban for a Philippines television station and took them back to Manila on Sunday. When GMA News broadcast and posted them online, he delivered what some families, unable to reach friends and relatives since Friday, were desperate to hear.
A message from the Palacio family simply said, “Alive.” Another read: “Our house and car were destroyed but WE ARE SAFE.”
In a note to “Keith,” a Palo woman wrote to an Ohio man, a former Peace Corps volunteer who had lived with her family several years ago: “This is Stephanie, our house was destroyed by the typhoon, baby almost drowned but thank God she is safe and we are all safe. We need help from you. We don’t have shelter we are in evacuation center this time. Thanks & God Bless, Stephanie & Bert, Palo, Leyte.”  Read more…

How to Help Philippines Typhoon VictimsBy Liam Stack and Robert Mackey 











Britain’s Channel 4 News interviews Victor Tanco, the governor of Capiz province in the Philippines.

Updated, Tuesday, 5:44 p.m. | As the full scale of the devastation wrought across the islands of the Philippines over the weekend by Typhoon Haiyan came into fuller view on Monday, governments around the world have pledged aid to the victims. The Pentagon has dispatched an advance team of 90 marines and sailors, and U.S.A.I.D. has pledged emergency shelter and hygiene materials and 55 tons of food. The American Embassy in Manila has donated $100,000 for water and sanitation assistance.
Below is a list of contact information for some organizations that plan to provide relief to victims of the typhoon, called Yolanda in the Philippines. The New York Times does not certify the charities’ fund allocations or administrative costs. More information about giving, for this and other causes, is available online from the GuideStar database on nonprofit agencies.  Read more…

Eyewitness Reports After Typhoon in PhilippinesBy Jennifer Preston

— robert mano (@robertmanodzmm) 9 Nov 13
Updated 3:30 p.m., Nov. 9 Dramatic images and video from local journalists and eyewitnesses show the extent of the damage in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, which  tore through the center of the Philippines on Friday. 
As my colleague, Floyd Whaley reported Red Cross officials estimated Saturday that more than 1,000 people were killed. But the death toll could rise as rescuers made their way to isolated parts of the three large island provinces — Samar, Leyte and Bohol —  which were all hard hit by the powerful storm known locally as Yolanda.
Writing on Facebook about Tacloban City, where hundreds of people are feared dead,  Josh Morgerman, a member of a storm chasing team, described an “utterly ghastly” scene during and after the storm. He and his two team members, including one man injured while helping rescue people, were able to leave Saturday by helicopter.  Read more…
