Philippine rescuers struggle

The central Philippines more closely resembles a war zone after a super tyhoon swept through the country on Friday.

International aid agencies and countries rush to supply aid.

Here the Philippine army unloads trucks filled with relief supplies but resources are stretched thin.

And operations are further hampered because roads, airports and bridges have been destroyed or covered in wreckage.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) TACLOBAN CITY MAYOR ALFRED ROMUALDEZ SAYING:

"Our problem is getting more relief goods in because the roads are not yet accessible. I myself have already helped. Even the day after the storm, we were retrieving bodies, and at the same time clearing roads, and the problem is 90 percent to 95 percent of people in city hall are also casualties."

An estimated 10,000 people have been killed and more than 60,000 people displaced.

Many survivors have lost loved ones and everything they own. They have no food, clean water, medicine or shelter.
