About 9.5 million Filipinos have been affected by super typhoon "Haiyan" (Philippine code name "Yolanda") and around 600,000 have been displaced. The typhoon is one of the strongest ever recorded with winds of up to 200 mph. The death toll in one city alone could reach 10,000 according to news reports quoting Philippine officials. Many are injured and need immediate medical attention. Thousands are in dire need of food and water which will have to sustain them for weeks to come. Many of them haven't eaten for days and help is slow in coming because of transportation problems. The United Nations estimates that $301 million in emergency assistance is needed to help the millions of Filipinos affected by the super typhoon.
