2013年11月15日![epa03943724 A picture made available by the Malacanang Photo Bureau shows President Benigno S. Aquino III (2-L) gives out water to families displaced by Typhoon Haiyan during his visit to Tacloban City in the province of Leyte in Philippines, 10 November 2013. Typhoon Haiyan tore through the eastern and central Philippines beginning 08 November, flattening homes, toppling power lines and knocking out communications. Fierce winds ripped roofs off buildings as raging floodwaters swept debris and left vehicles piled on top of each other on the battered streets. The official death toll was 138, according to the national disaster relief agency. But official said, the toll could reach 10,000 in one city alone.

菲律賓遭颱風「海燕」肆虐一星期後,該國政府對當局的危機處理作了辯護。據該國媒體報導,該國內政部長在遭受重創的塔克洛班(Tacloban)市強調,面對這樣的自然現象造成的災情,任何救災行動都難稱「迅速」。與此同時,該國救災局負責人承認,菲律賓對應對如此規模的自然災難準備不足。多日來,馬尼拉當局一再受到指責,對災民的援救過於遲緩、沒有效率。有關風災死亡人數目前存在不同說法。政府平民保護機構一名發言人稱,死亡人數為2360人;聯合國紐約總部一名發言人則稱,根據菲律賓社會福利和開發機構提供的數據,死亡人數為4460人。聯合國稱,此次百年不遇颱風導致的災民總數達1100萬。
