  Survivors of a super typhoon that may have killed more than 10,000 people in the Philippines were growing increasingly desperate for aid, as authorities struggled to cope with potentially the country's worst recorded natural disaster. As the sheer scale of the devastation slowly became clear, rescue workers appeared overwhelmed in their efforts to help survivors amongst them countless children of Super Typhoon Haiyan, which sent tsunami-like waves and merciless winds rampaging across a huge chunk of the archipelago. People are becoming violent. They are looting business establishments, the malls, just to find food, rice and milk. The US Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) said in an update at 2100 GMT the storm "is currently making landfall" approximately 97 miles (156 kilometres) east south-east of the capital Hanoi, with sustained winds of 75 miles (120 kilometres) per hour. More than 600,000 people were evacuated, with flooding and heavy rain expected.
