Typhoon Haiyan: Thousands feared dead in Philippines
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24978926 17 November 2013 Last updated at 23:03 GMT Philippine typhoon: Aquino criticises local officials Philippine President Benigno Aquino has criticised authorities in some areas for not being fully prepared for the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan. During a visit to the coastal town of Guiuan, he praised local officials for carrying out a proper evacuation, but said it was in contrast to other towns. Mr Aquino has been criticised for his own government's response. Meanwhile survivors have attended church services for victims of Hayan, which killed at least 3,974 people. (CONFIRMED DEATHS). A further 1,186 are missing, according to the latest official count. In many places, including the mostly flattened city of Tacloban in Leyte province, Masses were held in half-destroyed and flooded churches. The international aid effort is starting to have a major impact, with Britain's HMS Daring warship joining the huge relief operation. The typhoon - which had some of the strongest winds ever recorded on land - also left about 500,000 people homeless. Guiuan, in Samar province, was the first town hit by the typhoon as it came ashore on 8 November. Mr Aquino said the evacuation ordered by the mayor had limited deaths there to fewer than 100. But he suggested officials in other places had not been so well prepared. "As your president, I am not allowed to get angry even if I am already upset," he told reporters. He said that he would have to "stomach" his anger. He also urged people to show patience. "Our main problem now is feeding 1.4 million people every day. But the government has the resources and we're moving faster." Mr Aquino also visited Tacloban, and said the government would provide everything people needed. Earlier Philippine Social Welfare and Development Secretary Corazon Soliman acknowledged that the national relief response had been slow. "We will double our efforts to distribute relief goods because we've been hearing complaints," she said. 'Faith strengthened' On Sunday, thousands attended church services across the mainly Roman Catholic country. Many came to give thanks for surviving the storm, while others prayed for their loved ones that died. "I wish to thank the Lord. We asked for his help for all the people who survived this typhoon to be able to eat and continue a life that is hopefully more blissful," Belen Curila told AFP news agency at a service in Guiuan. In Tacloban, Father Amadero Alvero led a service for some 500 people in the half-destroyed and flooded Santo Nino church. "Despite what happened, we still believe in God," he said. As the morning Masses were held, the international relief effort continued to build. US helicopters have been dropping food, water and other supplies from the aircraft carrier USS George Washington. The navy helicopters have been mobbed by hungry villagers, as they deliver desperately needed aid to remote areas. However the United Nations said people were still going hungry in mountainous regions. "I remain concerned about the health and well-being of the millions of men, women and children who are still in desperate need," UN humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said in a statement. UK effort Britain's HMS Daring - which is now is off the coast of Cebu City - is the latest vessel to join the relief effort. Its crew is now preparing to despatch aid to the Panay Island, in the far west of Cebu. Another British ship - the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious - is on its way to the Philippines. On Saturday Britain has announced it will give an extra £30m ($50m) in emergency aid, bringing UK assistance to £50m. The DEC said donations it had collected from the public had reached £33m. About 11 million people have been affected by Typhoon Haiyan, according to UN estimates. It was one of the most powerful storms ever recorded on land, with winds exceeding 320km/h (200 mph) unleashing massive waves. Health experts have warned that the worst-affected areas are entering a peak danger period for the spread of infectious diseases.

Many of the congregation sit on pews, huddled under umbrellas as Father Isagni Petilios tells them they have been strong and brave in the face of tragedy. But outside it remains an apocalyptic scene. Most of the homes here have been destroyed. But for the first time, it seems, there are signs that people are beginning to take on the enormous task of rebuilding. For most it starts with pulling lengths of timber and twisted roofing sheets from the piles of wreckage - to recycle into rough shelters. But even as they do so, there is still other grim work to be completed. We watched as truck after truck of corpses were delivered to a cemetery on the outskirts of town. More than 1,000 bodies are carefully laid out in two parallel trenches. Most of the victims go to this mass grave unidentified. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24931543 Typhoon Haiyan: Filipino Americans on devastated home town 19 November 2013 Last updated at 01:26 GMT More than 3.4 million Americans trace their ancestry to the Philippines, according to the 2010 US Census, making Filipinos the second-largest Asian-American group in the US. And the biggest group of Filipinos outside of the Philippines can be found in California. The community there is behind a massive fundraising effort to get relief to family and friends back home devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. The BBC met a group from the Tacloban Association of Southern California who are raising money to help rebuild their hometown. Produced by Regan Morris and Travis Peterson

NEWS IN RELATION TO NATURAL DISASTERS
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24982072 18 November 2013 Last updated at 18:38 GMT Deadly tornadoes hit US Midwest states Powerful tornadoes have swept through the US Midwest, destroying buildings and overturning vehicles in the states of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky. At least eight people were killed and it is feared that several hundred people may have been injured in the fast-moving storms. A number of people are feared trapped inside buildings. Forecasters said people in 10 states had been at risk. Hailstones the size of tennis balls were reported. The storm was so fast-moving - with winds of up to 111km/h (68mph) - that forecasters warned people not to wait until they saw the weather change. It is continuing its way east. November is ordinarily one of the quietest months in the tornado calendar, meaning these storms are unusually destructive for this time of year, the BBC's Nick Bryant in New York reports. 'War zone' About 80 reports of tornadoes had come in by late Sunday, said the National Weather Service - though a spokesman cautioned that multiple reporting meant the actual number might be about 30 or 40. Six fatalities were reported in Illinois, the hardest hit state. Three people died in southern Massac County, and one person died in the town of Washington, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency said. Between 250 and 500 homes were either damaged or destroyed in the town. An 80-year-old man and his 78-year-old sister were killed when a tornado struck their farmhouse in the rural southern Illinois village of New Minden. Two others were killed in Michigan - a 21-year-old man whose vehicle was crushed by a fallen free, and a 59-year-old man found entangled in high-voltage power lines. Eyewitnesses described how large parts of Washington had been levelled by the tornadoes. "The whole neighbourhood's gone. The wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house," Michael Perdun told news agency Associated Press by mobile phone from Washington, where he said his neighbourhood was wiped out in seconds. "I stepped outside and I heard it coming," he said. "My daughter was already in the basement, so I ran downstairs and grabbed her, crouched in the laundry room and all of a sudden I could see daylight up the stairway and my house was gone." Another resident returned from a trip to find her home completely blown away by the tornado. "A lot of people have a pile of rubble still," Michelle Cumrine told the AFP news agency. "I don't have anything. It's gone. I don't know where it went." Illinois officials are describing the situation as "dangerous and volatile". State trooper Dustin Pierce told agencies there had been reports of looting in Washington and a dusk-till-dawn curfew had been imposed. Karen Harris, a food truck operator in Washington, told the BBC she saw a "car completely mangled, the houses gone". "Telephone wires [are] down everywhere, live wires are still down. I'm pretty traumatised from what I saw. "I actually saw a vehicle in the middle of the road, their left signal light turned on, like they were getting ready to turn, all the windows were out of it, blood was in the back seat. "Pandemonium. It looks like a war zone," Ms Harris added. Illinois police say they fear residents may be trapped in their basements under debris. In nearby Peoria, dozens of patients are being treated - some for serious injuries. Tens of thousands of residents were without power in Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky, utility companies said. Parts of Wisconsin and Ohio were also hit by the storm. American football fans were evacuated from a stadium in the centre of Chicago as one tornado moved through the city suburbs. The White House said President Barack Obama was being regularly updated on the situation. Laura Nightengale, a reporter with the Journal Star newspaper in Peoria, Illinois, witnessed the approach of a tornado from inside a house in the town. "From the window I saw this huge tornado, tonnes of debris flying through the air. "I took shelter in the basement. The area that was hit, it's just absolutely devastated - entire blocks where homes stood this morning right now are just rubble," Ms Nightengale told the BBC. The National Weather Service warned that showers, thunderstorms and windy conditions were likely for much of the north-eastern US on Monday morning. Some storms "could contain strong winds, hail and even an isolated tornado", it said. This news item of deadly tornadoes in US midwest states was also reported in international media i.a. in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Germany http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24996292 19 November 2013 Last updated at 21:41 GMT Sardinia hit by deadly Cyclone Cleopatra and floods At least 18 people, including four children, have been killed in flooding on the Italian island of Sardinia after a cyclone and heavy rain. A number of people are reported missing after rivers burst their banks. Cars were swept away and bridges collapsed. The area around the north-eastern city of Olbia was worst-hit - in some places the water was up to 3m (10ft) deep. Prime Minister Enrico Letta has declared a state of emergency, speaking of a "national tragedy". Mr Letta announced that 20 million euros (£16.8m, $27m) would be allocated immediately to emergency relief efforts, with soldiers deployed in the region. "We are focusing on essential operations: saving human lives, assisting displaced people and clearing road access," he said after an emergency cabinet meeting on Tuesday. More than 440mm (17.3in) of rain fell in 90 minutes overnight into Tuesday morning. Victims A Brazilian family of four drowned when their basement flat in the town of Arzachena, in the northern part of the island, filled with water. Two children were among the dead. Three people died when a road bridge collapsed on to their car near Olbia, according to local media. In a separate incident, a mother and her daughter were found dead in their car after it was swept away by floods. Among the victims was a police officer who died after a bridge collapsed as he tried to escort an ambulance. Hundreds of people across the Mediterranean island have been moved from their homes because of the flash flooding caused by Cyclone Cleopatra. "We're at maximum alert," Giorgio Cicalo, an official from Sardinia's civil protection authority, told Italy's Rai TV. "We haven't seen a situation as extreme as this, perhaps for decades - especially because it's been across the whole island." 'Apocalyptic' Sardinian Governor Ugo Cappellacci told Italian TV that the situation on the island was "dramatic". Meanwhile Olbia Mayor Gianni Giovanelli was quoted by Sky TG24 as saying that the city had been hit by an "apocalyptic"' storm. Some city residents used social media to offer shelter to those forced out of their homes. The BBC Weather Centre says the flooding was caused by a deep area of low pressure that has been sitting over the Mediterranean, bringing sustained heavy rain. The unstable conditions are expected to move across Italy and further east, bringing further downpours and the threat of flooding, particularly in Venice. The storm caused extensive damage to farms in Sardinia and disrupted a number of flights to and from mainland Italy. Italian President Giorgio Napolitano has expressed "solidarity with the communities involved" and "heartfelt sympathy to the families of the many victims".

The Philippines need your help
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24972707 16 November 2013 Last updated at 16:53 GMT Philippines typhoon: Aid effort gathers pace The international aid effort in parts of the Philippines devastated by Typhoon Haiyan is starting to have a major impact, with tens of thousands of victims of receiving supplies. Medical teams are operating in the worst-affected areas and US helicopters flying aid to isolated settlements. The UN says it and its partners hope to provide enough aid for six months. Haiyan, which hit eight days ago, has killed more than 3,600 people and left about half a million homeless. Patrick Fuller of the International Federation of the Red Cross told the Associated Press news agency: "At the moment we are ramping up a major relief effort and the supplies are coming in." Mr Fuller - who is in Tacloban, one of the worst-hit areas - said: "We're setting up an emergency response hospital here, water and sanitation units." However, he added that people in affected areas would need long-term "support with rebuilding". Both the Red Cross and the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said they would have mobile surgical units up and running in Tacloban by the end of the weekend. US Navy helicopters have been dropping food, water and other supplies from the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, which arrived off the coast on Thursday. The carrier is also expanding search-and-rescue operations. The US military said it would send about 1,000 more troops along with additional ships and aircraft to join the aid effort. Britain will give an extra £30m ($50m) in emergency aid, bringing UK assistance to £50m, Prime Minister David Cameron announced. The UK Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) said donations from the public had reached £33m. Although a huge international aid effort is under way, widespread infrastructure damage is hampering efforts to distribute it to some areas. Desperate survivors are still trying to leave the coastal city of Ormoc, 105 km (65 miles) west of Tacloban, Reuters news agency reports. Philippine Social Welfare and Development Secretary Corazon Soliman acknowledged in a radio interview that the national relief response had been too slow to reach many areas. "We will double our efforts to distribute relief goods because we've been hearing complaints that a lot of people have yet to receive relief goods," she said. About 11 million people have been affected by Typhoon Haiyan, according to UN estimates. It was one of the most powerful storms ever recorded on land, with winds exceeding 320km/h (200 mph) unleashing massive waves. Tacloban's airport was left in ruins. Health experts have warned that the worst-affected areas are entering a peak danger period for the spread of infectious diseases. The Philippines National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said that as of 10:00 GMT on Saturday, 3,637 people had been reported dead, 12,501 injured and 1,186 missing. The death toll is expected to rise as further assessments are made. Hunger in Tacloban In the Philippine city of Tacloban, devastated by Typhoon Haiyan, survivors wait for aid and worry about the future, as the BBC's Rajesh Mirchandani finds out. Other international media report that those wanting it can be transported by ship to the Philippines' second-largest city. Such operation on-going.

115 PEOPLE KILLED BY TYPHOON IN SOMALIA, AFRICA At least 115 people were killed when a typhoon hit northwestern Somalia last Sunday. "Most of the area was destroyed. Entire villages were torn away. Some areas are not accessible, and many are missing", says Ahmed Adan, spokesman of the Somalia Prime Minister. The typhoon was followed by several days of rain causing massive floodings. Several houses, boats and agricultural animals were washed out into the Indian Ocean as a consequence of massive water masses. The PM has asked for international assistance.
