Confirmed Typhoon Haiyan Death Count Tops 2,300 
------------------------------------------------


 
Aid has begun to reach some of the estimated 11 million people affected
by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Aircraft from a massive U.S.
carrier ship have joined the relief effort, bringing supplies to some of
those left without clean water or food for nearly a week. The official
death toll from the storm, one of the strongest in world history, stands
at 2,357, but is expected to rise. Initial estimates said more than
10,000 people may have died. The Philippines health minister has warned
it is unlikely all of the dead will be identified.
