Devastation and despair in the Philippines as the country's | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
president declares a state of national calamity and the world | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
discovers the scale of the damage from one of the worst storms ever. | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
Hi - Martin here with a special Newsround looking at the impact of | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Typhoon Haiyan and the millions whose lives have been affected | :00:22. | :00:22. | |
forever. To the Philippines then, where the | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
images of devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan continue to shock the | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
world. It's now estimated that more than nine million people have been | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
affected and there's still a lot we don't know about the extent of the | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
damage outside of the main cities. More than 10,000 people are believed | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
to have been killed in just one place, Tacloban, after it was | :00:47. | :00:59. | |
practically wiped out. Tacloban, a city reduced to rubble | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
by one of the most powerful storms in history. Nobody can cope with the | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
level of destruction this city has experienced. You | :01:07. | :01:07. | |
level of destruction this city has just looks as though it has been | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
completely torn apart. It began last Friday when winds of up to 200 miles | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
per hour swept through the Philippines in South East Asia. | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
Typhoon Haiyan had arrived, and for many there was no escaping it. The | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
storm was on a level unimaginable for those of us living in the UK. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
The typhoon ripped apart homes and schools, triggering landslides and | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
mass flooding. It's estimated that 10,000 lives were lost in Tacloban | :01:42. | :01:53. | |
alone. This is my house, it is totally gone, nothing there. This is | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
all we have, what we are wearing. That is it. Here in the city, the | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
airport has been destroyed. This is what's left of the shopping centre. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
And row upon row of homes have simply vanished. It wasn't the wind | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
that did all this, it was water - an enormous four-metre storm surge | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
swept into the coast and flattened neighbourhoods. But out of the | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
wreckage, stories of survival - a five-year-old boy and his family | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
clung on to a tree for four hours as the water levels rose around them. | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Small glimpses of hope but the true scale of the devastation is not yet | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
known. Many more areas are yet to be reached, many more stories yet to be | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
heard. Well Typhoon Haiyan has now been downgraded to a tropical storm | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
and is heading towards nearby Vietnam. But back in the | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
Philippines, aid agencies say the continued bad weather is making it | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
difficult to get food, water and other vital supplies to people. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
Ayshah has been finding out how hard it's already proving to reach those | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
in need. Small amounts of aid arriving in the Philippines, but | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
when roads and buildings have been wiped out, how do you get it to | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
when roads and buildings have been where it needs to go? It is | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
difficult to get around at the moment. With the strength of these | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
winds, people described it as a jet engine blasting down on where they | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
lived. One of the first problems is being able to get through to people | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
because some mobile phones still don't work and it is difficult to | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
get hold of even our own staff in some places. The geography of the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
country makes reaching the people affected even more difficult. It's a | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
series of islands and with airports and ports destroyed and seas still | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
choppy, getting from one place to another is hard. Even trying to | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
drive across the mainland has its challenges. Things are so bad in | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Tacloban, it's taking more than six hours to travel the seven miles to | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
the airport, a journey which would normally take ten minutes. So once | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
aid workers get to people, what do they need? People need basic things | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
that we probably take for granted like clean water, food, and in some | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
cases we are also talking about emergency accommodation so this | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
means that people might move into a tent just for the next few weeks in | :04:29. | :04:37. | |
order to survive. In the next few days the response to Typhoon Haiyan | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
will be crucial in saving lives Entire communities have been left | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
without food, medicine and water. Now it's a race against the clock to | :04:44. | :04:52. | |
reach them. Well if anything you've seen in the | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
show today upsets you, there's loads of help and advice over on our | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
website. That's all for now. | :05:00. | :05:00. |
