In this video, UNICEF has aggregated images from the destruction caused by Super Typhoon Haiyan (local name Yolanda) in Tacloban, Leyte, Philippines. Thousands have been killed, over 1 million people have been displaced and children are bearing the brunt of the crisis. They need food, water, tarps, medical kits, and other emergency supplies. Help send aid to the Philippines by donating to UNICEF.

UNICEF estimates that more than 40% of those affected by the storm are children — up to 4 million may be at risk. Children who have escaped the terrible damage still need urgent assistance to survive the aftermath of the storm. UNICEF calls for support to be able to respond to the needs of all children and families affected. UNICEF is rushing emergency supplies to areas of the Philippines ravaged by Typhoon Haiyan...but we need your help.

UNICEF has already mobilized from available local supplies therapeutic food for children, health kits, and water and hygiene kits to support up to 3,000 families in the affected areas, with distribution prioritized for the Tacloban area as soon as access is possible. UNICEF's warehouse in Copenhagen, Denmark, is airlifting US$1.3 million worth of additional medical, hygiene and nutrition supplies for another 10,000 families, including those affected by the recent earthquake in Bohol.

The Philippines has now endured three major crises in just two months: armed conflict in Zamboanga, the 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Bohol, and now, Super Typhoon Haiyan. The United Nations along with UNICEF is partnering with the Government through the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council to carry out relief and response operations for the affected population.  

"We are rushing to get critical supplies to children who are bearing the brunt of this crisis," said UNICEF Philippines Representative Tomoo Hozumi.  The world as they knew it has been destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan and now the children of the Philippines need our help to survive.
