In Tanauan, one of the coastal areas worst hit by Typhoon Haiyan, people are being given tents and assistance while they start rebuilding their homes and lives. A month after Typhoon Haiyan swept through the Visayas region of the Philippines, tens of thousands of displaced people are returning to their home areas. UNHCR's teams in five field locations continue to work with the government and partners to help address the needs of the most vulnerable among them. According to government estimates, some 96,000 people currently remain in 430 evacuation centres in the region. The vast majority of displaced people are living outside the centres, often close to their destroyed homes.
