PHILIPPINES FACES

RECOVERY
Thousands of people have been declared dead so far from Typhoon Haiyan in
the Philippines, but the death toll could still rise dramatically. Workers buried
100 bodies Thursday during the first mass burial in the city of Tacloban,
the site of the most devastation. About 11.5 million have been impacted by
the disaster, said Valerie Amos, a U.N. humanitarian chief. “The situation
is dismal ... tens of thousands of people are living in the open,” she said
Thursday. “I think we are all extremely distressed that this is day 6 and we
have not managed to reach everyone.”
