Typhoon Haiyan, which ripped through The Philippines Nov.8, been described as one of the most powerful typhoons ever to hit land, leaving thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless. 

Countries all over the world have pledged relief aid to help support those affected by the typhoon however damage to the airport and roads have made moving the aid into the most affected areas very difficult. With dead bodies left out in the open air and very limited food, water and shelter, health concerns are growing. 

President Benigno Aquino III said Sunday that he will stay in typhoon-battered Leyte province until he sees more progress in the aid effort following complaints from survivors that they have yet to receive proper help.
