More than a week since Typhoon Yolanda — international name Haiyan — ripped through Central Philippines, the official death toll climbed to 3,976.

On Sunday, local officials said the water supply in Tacloban City is now “back to normal.” Although much-needed aid finally arrived, the United Nations said an estimated 2.5 million people still need food. An estimated four million people are displaced. Only 350,000 are sheltered in evacuation centers. A woman from Tacloban told Rappler, “Stop counting the dead, save the living.”
