Super Typhoon In Pacific

A super typhoon is intensifying in the Pacific and is forecast to barrel through the Philippines and Taiwan this week before heading to Hong Kong and south China.

Residents in storm wrecked areas of Micronesia appealed for help today as a cleanup began on the worst affected islands after Super Typhoon Maysak swept through the region on its way towards the Philippines.

Aid agencies today described conditions in cyclone-ravaged Vanuatu as among the most challenging they have ever faced, as the Pacific nation's president blamed climate change for worsening the devastation.

Super Typhoon Haiyan may go down in history as the deadliest natural disaster to hit the calamity-prone Philippines, with authorities estimating at least 10,000 dead on one island alone.
