| Close up look on Tacloban Typhoon Aftermath. |
Philippine President Benigno Aquino says the death toll from Typhoon (Yolanda) Haiyan may be lower than first thought.
Speaking to CNN, he said the number of 10,000 killed was "too high" and the figure was more likely up to 2,500.
The UN says more than 11 million people are believed to have been affected and some 673,000 displaced.
The relief operation is being stepped up, but many are still without aid. On Wednesday, eight people died as a rice warehouse was looted, officials said.
The earlier figure of 10,000 feared killed
came from a police officer and local official and may have arisen from
the "emotional trauma" of being at the centre of the disaster, Mr Aquino
said.
He said 29 municipalities had yet to be contacted to establish the number of victims there. Yes, we Filipino's are glad to see those donations and help from inside and outside the country pouring in, it's sad to say this but during these times of calamities,we really don't have the facilities and equipment to procure massive operations like those U.S. aircraft to transport faster relief goods. THANKS to the help of the other countries, it made a lot of progress.
The Philippine Government now are reorganizing strategies how to fasten the relief distribution, hence, its the 6th day of the calamity.
Food is really scarce.
Slow relief distribution.
Isolated areas wherein deliveries and goods cannot pass through.
