Haiyan's rampage has become a death place in the Philippines!

The Dhaka Times Desk Typhoon Haiyan has turned the Philippines into a deathbed. Destruction is everywhere you look. The world has never seen such a situation.

The international media reported that a large area of the Philippines has become a place of death due to super typhoon Haiyan. More than 10,000 people are feared to have died in this unprecedented cyclone, despite earlier warnings. The coastal area is completely devastated. It is considered as the worst natural disaster in the country. The US has pledged military aid to the country. At the same time, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has promised that the human rights organizations of the United Nations will soon stand by the victims.

In Tacloban, the local police chief was quoted by media as saying that around 10,000 people lost their lives in the worst-hit province of Leyte. The police chief said that we had a meeting with the governor last night. 10,000 people lost their lives in the province and 70 to 80 percent of houses and structures were destroyed.

It should be noted that about 220,000 people live in Tacloban, the capital of Leyte province. Several other coastal cities, including Tacloban, were so battered by the storm that they appeared to be in ruins. Most of the houses have only the pillars standing. The scene of destruction looks like vehicles are lying upside down like toys on the road.

Sebastian Rodes Stempa, head of the United Nations Disaster Review and Coordination Team, said all around were signs of destruction. He said, the last time I saw such destruction was after the tsunami caused by the Indian Ocean. In 2004, 220,000 people lost their lives in the tsunami. Typhoon Haiwan struck Leyte and its neighboring islands in the Philippines on Friday morning with a speed of 389 km/h. At this time, huge waves washed away those areas. The full details of casualties are not yet available. More casualties are believed to have occurred. The Guan region in particular still remains uncontacted. About 40,000 fishermen live on Samar Island there. Haiyan first hit this island. The United States came forward with military assistance at the request of the Philippines.

Note that Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines last Friday. An earthquake in the same area in October caused extensive damage. Haiyan struck before he could recover from that loss. An average of 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every year. More than 1,000 people lost their lives in the southern region when Bofa, the strongest storm to hit last year.
