Typhoon Haiyan (or Yolanda as it was called in the Philippines) was an exceptionally powerful tropical cyclone that devastated portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines in early November. It was the deadliest Philippines typhoon on record, killing nearly 6,000 people in the Philippines and wiping out entire communities. A month after Typhoon Haiyan struck the country, more than million people remain displaced and in need of assistance and supplies.
