I am Anderson Cooper. Thanks for watching this edition of 360 podcast. All the latest from here, in Tacloban Philippine. Let’s get started.

This is the place where there is little food, where is little water and there are many many people. And many people are trying to get out of here out of  the airports. You are seeing a lot of people lining up around there. They have been lining up here all night long. They just waited at the airport. They frankly have nowhere else to go. Because out there on the other side of the camera, it is where remains Talcloban, and it is not a pretty sight with dead bodies lying out near the wreckage of people’s homes. People sleep out in the street with little food and little water, and few answers frankly about the relief efforts. We are gonna try to get answers over the course of next hour, we are going to bring you update of all we have seen during the last 24 hours.

It has been 5 days since super typhoon Haiyan slammed into the Philippines. But still after all that time, there is no official death toll, no concerted effort to retreat bodies of those died. The cleanup in some badly hit areas has barely started, if it started at all. Everywhere you go, there are pleas for help.

Everything is gone, we have nothing. Everything. There is nothing to eat, nothing to drink.

We need more people to help to help the current situation.

Help is on the way. 250 US service members are on the ground of Philippine and two more ships are on the way. But right now there simply is not enough aid. And what aid there is, is not getting out to those who need them most. Day after day, thousands come to Tacloban airport hoping for a ride out, praying they can escape the devastation, the lack of food and water, the decaying bodies lying on the streets. But with the 800 000 people displaced, many are without options. While others continue to search for loved ones lost in the storm surge.

Only 1 is missing is my eldest daughter, I hope she is still alive and she will be here. 

This woman cries for her mother who is still missing. I am still here in Talcloban, she says, I am still alive.

Make shift shelters for those left behind have sprung up all over the area. People sleep in wherever they can, desperate to find a dry safe spot.

People around here just have no place else to go.  A lot of them who have been evacuated for the storm are coming back where it used to be their homes. There is a make shift shack. So they constructed over there, and try to collect all the things they can salvage. But it is not much.

In many places not much is left but rubble, and the sound of pets waiting for owners who may never return. This make shift coffin with a piece of rock with a name of a baby who has been placed inside. Marin ALCAIN is her name. She was only 1 year and 3 months old.

At this hospital in Talcloban, the wounded and sick wait for treatment, while the hospital has no electricity and few supplies.

We are admitting them as much as we can, because we can not refuse them.

It is already too late for this young mother, cradling her dead child into her arms.

I am going crazy, she says, I want to go back home.

Home is not an option for her. It is not an option for many in this broken city.
