Typhoon Haiyan Update: More Help Arrives in the Philippines After Nation's Deadliest Natural Disaster

 International help continued to arrive Monday in the central Philippines in the wake of Haiyan, the strongest tropical cyclone in history.

The Red Cross said its 1,400 evacuation centers in the region were housing 330,000 people who had nowhere else to go after the storm.
NBC News reported more than 200 U.S. military personnel, along with Marine and Navy aircraft, were on scene and transporting relief into the area. The number of relief flights was expected to increase as teams assessed the situation. The U.S. government also announced it was sending $20 million in humanitarian assistance, including emergency medicine and food.

Police guarded stores to prevent people from hauling off food, water and such non-essentials as TVs and treadmills, but there was often no one to carry away the dead - not even those seen along the main road from the airport to Tacloban, the worst-hit city along the country's remote eastern seaboard.
At a small naval base, eight swollen corpses - including that of a baby - were submerged in sea water brought in by the storm. Officers there had yet to move them, saying they had no body bags or electricity to preserve them.

Two officials said Sunday that Friday's typhoon may have killed 10,000 or more people, but with the slow pace of recovery, the official death toll remained well below that. The Philippine military confirmed 942 dead, but shattered communications, transportation links and local governments suggest the final toll is days away. Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said "we pray" that the death toll is less than 10,000.
