More than 12 million
people have been affected by the monster typhoon that left behind
catastrophic scenes of destruction and despair when it made landfall on
November 8, the government said. It left entire communities without
immediate access to food and medical care.
Report: 10 million affected by Haiyan
Several countries,
including the United States, have been aiding in the recovery. According
to the Pentagon, the military effort, dubbed Operation Damayan, cost
$32 million.
At their peak, the relief efforts involved more than 13,400 U.S. military personnel, 66 aircraft and 12 naval vessels.
Two weeks ago, the U.S.
scaled down its operation in the Philippines, but USAID continues to
provide food and support as the recovery continues.
