TACLOBAN, Philippines – This aerial footage from Biemann PH gives you a glimpse of the harrowing devastation in Tacloban and surrounding coastal areas during that fateful day last year.
November 8 marks the anniversary of typhoon Haiyan‘s landfall in the Philippines in 2013. The world’s strongest typhoon at its full destructive force of over 300 km/hour destroyed everything in its path, killing thousands.
A year passed and communities continue to heal. Despite rebuilt structures and cleared debris, the World Health Organization or WHO says mental disorders are on the rise in Haiyan-affected areas. This includes depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicide.
The opening of schools last June somehow marked the resilience of the ravaged communities, but rehabilitation and rebuilding remains a challenging task.
As of July 2014, damages are estimated at P14.8 billion ($330.8 million), around 5.9 million workers lost their sources of income, and 80,000 houses have been completely repaired or built. – Rappler.com
