In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Typhoon Yolanda, hit the Philippines with devastating force. With wind speeds of over 190 miles per hour and storm surges up to 30 feet high, the typhoon caused massive destruction and loss of life. Over 6,000 people were killed, and millions more were left homeless or displaced. The typhoon also caused severe damage to infrastructure and agriculture, leading to a major humanitarian crisis. The international community rallied to provide aid and support to the Philippines in the aftermath of the disaster, but recovery efforts were slow and challenging due to the scale of the devastation. The impact of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda continues to be felt in the Philippines to this day, as affected communities work to rebuild and recover from the disaster.
