The death toll from Super Typhoon Yolanda (international codename: Haiyan) continues to rise with more than 10,000 estimated deaths in the province of Leyte alone. Hundreds more are feared dead in other provinces devastated by gale force winds and 2-storey-high storm surges brought about by one of the strongest global storms recorded.

In the evening of November 11, President Benigno Aquino III declared a state of national calamity "to hasten the action of the government to rescue, provide help, and rehabilitate the provinces affected by Yolanda."

Concerns of violence
The violence was not all attributable to the weather. A Philippines senator cited reports of rapes and other crimes against women, some allegedly by prison escapees, PNA reported.


Sen. Nancy Binay expressed alarm after hearing TV reports of assailants breaking into homes.
But the U.S. military has said that violent crime is less of an obstacle to providing aid than is the debris that still blocks some roads.
