Storyline

One year after typhoon Haiyan killed more than 6 300 people and caused widespread devastation in Philippines, the recovery work is still ongoing. While most of the 4.1 million people who were displaced have either returned home to rebuild, or been relocated, some 20,000 are still living in shelters or with host families.

The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) together with country’s government has brought help over the past year to more than 700,000 of the most vulnerable typhoon survivors, including tents, plastic sheets, blankets, hygiene kits, jerry cans, kitchen sets and solar lanterns.

UNHCR’s focus today is the situation of the 20,000 people still living in 56 displacement sites across typhoon-affected areas. A recent protection assessment found that people still need help with physical dwellings, water and sanitation, hygiene, as well as land and property issues.

In the first days after disaster, people found shelter wherever they could. Along 38 other families, Bartolome Ngoho, a fisherman from Tacloban, stayed with his family in a washed-up ship for three weeks before moving to a temporary shelter with no electricity where they still live.

In Tacloban, Eastern Samar and some other areas, local authorities have provided temporary shelters where displaced people will have to stay there for two years while the search to find permanent relocation continues.
