Phillipines typhoon: Over 10,000 feared dead, 4.4 million homeless

Philippines President Benigno S. Aquino III flew to Tacloban city Sunday morning and was set to visit Roxas city in Capiz province later in the day to inspect the places hard hit by the super typhoon and to distribute relief goods to the affected residents.
 


The military has sent 100 soldiers to join police efforts in restoring peace and order in Tacloban as residents looted the Gaisano mall and stole cash from automated teller machines in the city, said Ramon Zagala, who heads the Philippines armed forces public affairs office.
 
Britain Sunday announced the provision of at least $9.58 million to help the relief and rescue operations for the victims in disaster-hit Philippines areas.
