Deadly clashes rage in typhoon-ravaged Philippines as survivors fight for food
RT

Driven to despair, survivors of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines turned to looting in search for food, water and medicine amid reports of warehouses and shops attacked in the aftermath of one of the strongest storms ever recorded.
As essential supplies dwindled, tensions rose. Since the storm hit the islands five days ago, residents have broken into homes, shops and warehouses, where they have drained shelves of food, water and other vital goods.
In the latest incident, Philippines security forces exchanged fire with armed looters in the village of Abucay, part of the worst-hit Tacloban in Leyte province, local ANC television reported on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, eight people were crushed to death after thousands of typhoon survivors stormed a government rice warehouse. Police and soldiers were helpless when the looting took place, National Food Authority spokesman said. The looters in Alangalang municipality carted away over 100,000 sacks of rice.
Warehouses owned by food and drinks company Universal Robina Corp and drug company United Laboratories in the storm-hit town of Palo, along with a rice mill in Jaro, were also ransacked.
“We have restored order,” director of the Philippine National Police special action force, Carmelo Espina Valmoria, told AP. “There has been looting for the last three days, [but] the situation has stabilized.”
“The looting is not criminality. It is self-preservation,” Tacloban city administrator John Lim told Reuters. Tacloban, the principal city in Leyte province which has also become the main relief hub, currently lies in ruins, with communications and transport cut off in many areas.

A 4.8 magnitude earthquake has hit the Philippines island of Bohol just days after a powerful typhoon left thousands dead in the Pacific nation.
The quake’s epicenter was in the San Isidro municipality of the island province, according to a USGS report.
It is located some 45km from Tagbilaran, the provincial capital that has almost 100,000 residents.
The tremor hit at the depth of about 70km, according to early USGS estimates.
The Philippines Institute of Volcanology and Seismology put the depth of the quake much less deep, at just 9km.
It said it was an aftershock of the 7.2 magnitude quake that hit the island on October 15.
No immediate casualty or damage report is available. The authorities did not issue a tsunami alert following the quake.
Last month’s quake killed 22 people and displaced tens of thousands. It also caused damage to more than 73,000 structures.
Bohol Island is located just south of the path of devastation left behind by the powerful Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Typhoon Yolanda.
The typhoon, which was the strongest to hit the country in decades, left an estimated 10,000 people killed and leveled thousands of homes. Philippines declared a state of national calamity as search and rescue operations continue.

10,000 feared killed in Philippines by super typhoon Haiyan — video included

An estimated 10,000 people might have been killed in the central Philippine province of Leyte alone, which was almost completely destroyed by the powerful typhoon Haiyan, local authorities said.
The typhoon has devastated up to 80 percent of the Leyte province area as it ripped through the Philippines, Chief Superintendent Elmer Soria told Reuters.
“We had a meeting last night with the governor and other officials. The governor said based on their estimate, 10,000 died,” Soria said.
Most of the dead drowned or were killed by collapsed buildings, authorities say. Tacloban city administrator Tecson Lim told AP that the death toll in Leyte province city alone “could go up to 10,000.”
Police have been deployed to patrol the ruins of Tacloban to prevent looting as desperate residents look for food and water, said Philippine Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, describing the situation as “horrific.”
“The dead are on the streets, they are in their houses, they are under the debris, they are everywhere,” said Lim, adding that only about 400 bodies have been recovered so far.
The Red Cross said earlier that 1,200 people we confirmed dead in the Philippines.
Roxas said earlier on Saturday that it was too soon to announce any final figures.

November 8, 2013
The worlds strongest storm in recorded history, Typhoon Haiyan (also named Yolanda), with sustained winds reaching 195mph — gusts up to 235mph.
This massive storm originally began its rotation , was born out of a microwave anomaly in the West Pacific. This video discusses the findings, and possible origin of the microwave pulse. Coming from where???! US Airforce base near the location, the base is a satellite communications hub.

Over 100 feared dead after Super typhoon devastates Philippines
RT
Published time: November 09, 2013 01:51
At least 100 people are presumed dead in Tacloban City, according to Reuters, as one of the most powerful-ever tropical cyclones based on wind speed has moved over the Central Philippines. The death toll expected to rise, authorities said.
Super Typhoon Haiyan has caused at least 100 deaths in the Philippines, according to a senior government official.
Huiyan hit the Filipino island of Samar Friday, forcing millions to flee the area.
Haiyan is billed as the strongest – by wind speed – storm ever to hit land, with sustained wind gusts of 170 mph (275 kph), according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
The storm is moving out of the Philippines after devastating property, triggering landslides and floods and power and communications on multiple islands.
Captain John Andrews, deputy director general of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, reported bodies in the streets in the central city of Tacloban.
Power and communications in the three large island provinces of Samar, Leyte and Bohol were almost completely down Friday.
“[The storm] is very powerful,” Roger Mercado, governor of Southern Leyte province, told DZBB radio. “We lost power and all roads are impassable because of fallen trees. We just have to pray.”
