Residents gather to make free calls to their relatives after Typhoon Haiyan devastated Tacloban city, central Philippines November 12, 2013. Rescue workers tried to reach towns and villages in the central Philippines on Tuesday that were cut off by the powerful typhoon, fearing the estimated death toll of 10,000 could jump sharply, as relief efforts intensified with the help of U.S. military.

Super Typhoon Haiyan or better known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda, has wreaked massive damage to property, agriculture and infrastructure especially in Tacloban, a city in central Philippines. Reports have surfaced that more than 10,000 were feared dead as Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Southeast Asian country. The figure allegedly came from a Philippine official. Authorities have yet to give an official death toll as communication lines in some areas remain down and relief operations are ongoing.
Emergency responders and rescue workers still struggle to reach Haiyan-ravaged villages to deliver relief goods and aid surivors of the typhoon, which had displaced more the 600,000 people, according to news reports.
