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."
