Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines

Just recently Philippines got hit by a Typhoon called Haiyan. And this typhoon is been recorded as the worst typhoon ever been recorded this year. What more devastating is that, a region called Bohol got struck by an earthquake that killed hundreds and most probably thousands of people. And now they are facing the typhoon as well.

As reported in http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/world/article/us-british-warships-sent-to-typhoon-ravaged-philippines, around 10 thousand people are feared killed due to the typhoon. And they are now not only focusing to shelter the victims but given the circumstances, they are to provide a recovery for them to build they life back. Hopefully some help can be given to them, as you can see solving and giving shelter is another to be thought about. Recovery their life is also as equally important.

Victims have no money, no job at the current issues. Infrastructure are devastated and power are barely there. And from http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/world/article/us-british-warships-sent-to-typhoon-ravaged-philippines stated that some parts of Philippines have not received help due to roads that malfunction. In other words, help is not on their way.
