In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan tore across the central islands of the Philippine archipelago. It was the strongest storm recorded at landfall and to date has killed at least 5,000 people in the Philippines alone. For the people left behind, the devastation has been a difficult one to bear. People are still left without food, water or a roof over their heads. Aid is getting through, but the situation is such that regeneration of the worst affected areas will take time.
