BBC News with Marion Marshall. The United Nations says the damage caused by typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines will require a huge international response. The UN says that the local officials estimated that the storm killed 10,000 people in a single city Tacloban. Nick Bryant reports from the UN in New York. ________________________________ Almost 10 million people have been affected and 660,000 displaced from their flattened communities. The UN has described the response in the Philippines government as very impressive, but clearly much more needs to be done on the ground. Response teams have focused on providing purified water, food, shelter and medical support for the survivors, while an urgent priority is to bury dead bodies because of the risk of spreading disease. But the relief effort is being hampered by the damage to roads and local infrastructure. 玛丽安`马歇尔带来的BBC新闻 联合国表示台风\"海燕\"对菲律宾造成巨大伤害,需要国际社会鼎力支援.联合国称,据当地官员估算,台风仅在塔克洛班市一个城市就造成了一万人丧生.尼克`布赖恩自纽约联合国总部发回报道. ________________________________ 近一千万人受灾,66万人离开了被夷为平地的家园.联合国称菲律宾政府的援救行动值得称赞,但很明显仍有许多的工作需要完成.援救队目前主要集中为幸存者提供干净的水和食物、帐篷及医疗服务,同时的当务之急是埋葬遇难者遗体,以防止疾病传播.但救援行动因路况和当地基建破坏而受阻.
