Super Typhoon Haiyan, which hit six islands, has ravaged the country.

It is feared that tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions of others have been left homeless due to the disaster.

While fundamental services cannot be given to many regions due to typhoon, IHH teams have launched emergency relief work in order to join search and rescue efforts in the country and meet the victims’ need for accommodation and food. A four-member additional team has also set out from Turkey for Philippines.
