There stood a man ....and prayed him, saying,
Come over ....and help us.
Acts 16:9
"An estimated 11 million people were impacted by Super Typhoon Haiyen, with it's near 200 mile-per-hour winds and 20 foot storm surge.
More than half a million people have been left homeless. In some areas, the survivors are being
forced to live among piles of corpses.
"It's just really death and devastation everywhere. Bodies laying everywhere. People need help," American missionary and storm survivor John Wynn said.
Simon Kurzban, a volunteer from Boulder, Colo., recalled seeing "truckloads of bodies, like hundreds."
There are still communities that have been unreachable. The United Nations says it could be another day before search and rescue teams make it to the remotest areas cut off by the storm.
Survivors say they can't hang on much longer.
"We can survive without this houses. We can survive anywhere, sleep anywhere. But we need food," one person said.
Today the United Nations appealed for more than $300 million for emergency assistance for the Philippines. Military planes have been evacuating survivors from hard-hit Tacloban to Manila. But
thousands are left behind, waiting for relief.
They also have medical workers on the ground. Many of those injured in Tacloban are fighting for their lives at a makeshift hospital at the airport. For many, medical help is needed immediately."
