MANILA, Philippines – On November 8, it will be two years since Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) hit the Philippines.
Typhoon Yolanda made headlines around the world as it claimed thousands of lives and left unimaginable destruction in several areas, including Eastern Visayas.
Along with the international attention came pledges of aid from several countries. These, through proper implementation, helped the survivors get back on their feet after the disaster.
Rappler takes a look at the affected sectors, and through statistics gathered from government and non-governmental agencies, we paint a picture of the current rehabilitation situation of the survivors of the one of the strongest and most destructive typhoons to hit the Philippines.
