Typhoon Kills Thousands in Philippines - Please donate
At least 10,000 people are thought to have died in the central Philippine province of Leyte after Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall, lashed the area, swallowing coastal towns, a senior police official said early on Sunday morning.
About 70-80% of the buildings in the area in the path of Haiyan in Leyte province was destroyed, said chief superintendent Elmer Soria.
"We had a meeting last night with the governor and the other officials. The governor said based on their estimate, 10,000 died," he said.
Tacloban city administrator Tecson Lim said that the death toll in that city alone "could go up to 10,000".
Tacloban is the provincial capital of Leyte, with a population of more than 200,000. The Philippine Red Cross said in Tacloban bodies had been found "piled up around the roads" and in churches.
Between 300 and 400 bodies had been recovered, Lim said.

richest country and richest country per capita is different thing.
Qatar is the richest country in the world, so of course they will give $10m to Philippines. Maybe they will even give more. They have enough money to help these people.
UAE declared $10 m.. kudoes to the Sheikh .. Now its Qatars turn. They are in mass here to build the country.

i trust the red cross more than the tv networks. sometimes the latter are in it just for the publicity. don't get me wrong, they do help. i might consider donating to them in kind but i will not send money to them because it might just go to the travel expenses of the celebrities they'll be flying in for the photo op
