| Displaced Filipinos |
The government has raised the official death toll from the Philippines
typhoon disaster to
1,744 people, with the final number expected to be much higher.
The National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council also said in a statement Tuesday that
2,487 people had been hurt after Typhoon Haiyan struck the eastern Philippines four days ago.
But both figures are expected
to climb drastically, with authorities estimating that the storm killed 10,000
or more across a vast region of the country, and displaced about
660,000 others.
