Starvation and fear in the land laid waste by typhoon: At least 10,000 dead as 200mph winds smash into the Philippines

Starvation and fear in the land laid waste by typhoon: At least 10,000 dead as 200mph winds smash into the Philippines | Mail Online: "Desperate survivors of the devastating Philippines typhoon told yesterday how they had to steal from the dead to eat.

Remains: Survivors have begun to rummage through the wreckages of houses in a bid to find food to feed their families

In the worst-hit areas, 200mph winds created 20ft waves that are thought to have killed between 10,000 and 15,000 and left 500,000 homeless after their houses were reduced to splinters. Super-typhoon Haiyan struck with such force on Friday that entire villages were flattened, ships were swept inland and corpses were left hanging from trees."
