Confirmed Typhoon Haiyan Death Count Tops 2,300

HeadlineNov 14, 2013

Aid has begun to reach some of the estimated 11 million people affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Aircraft from a massive U.S. carrier ship have joined the relief effort, bringing supplies to some of those left without clean water or food for nearly a week. The official death toll from the storm, one of the strongest in world history, stands at 2,357 but is expected to rise. Initial estimates said more than 10,000 people may have died. The Philippines health minister has warned it is unlikely all of the dead will be identified.
