Rescuers in Tacloban City in Leyte counted at least 100 dead and many more injured Saturday a day after one of the most powerful typhoons on record ripped through the central Philippine province, wiping away buildings and leveling seaside homes in massive storm surges, then headed for Vietnam.
According to Inquirer.net report, nearly 800,000 people were forced to flee their homes and damage was believed to be extensive. About 4 million people were affected by the typhoon, the national disaster agency said.
Relief workers said they were struggling to find ways to deliver food and other supplies, with roads blocked by landslides and fallen trees.
Walang kapantay man ang sakuna nating naranasan, wala ring kapantay ang tibay ng pusong Pilipino. Sabay-sabay tayong babangon mula sa pagsubok. Walang maiiwan, isang bayan tayong aahon.
