2. BACKGROUND
Typhoon Haiyan (known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda) is the
second-deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, killing at least 5,235
people
The thirtieth named storm of the 2013 Pacific typhoon season, Haiyan
originated from an area of low pressure several hundred kilometers eastsoutheast of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia on 2
November. Tracking generally westward, environmental conditions
favored tropical cyclogenesis and the system developed into a tropical
depression the following day.
After becoming a tropical storm and attaining the name Haiyan at
0000 UTC on 4 November, the system began a period of rapid
intensification that brought it to typhoon intensity by 1800 UTC on
November 5.
AFFECTED AREA: Regions VIII (Eastern Visayas), VI (Western Visayas)
and VII (Central Visayas) are hardest hit, according to current information.
Regions IV-A (CALABARZON), IV-B (MIMAROPA), V (Bicol), X (Northern
Mindanao), XI (Davao) and XIII (Caraga) were also affected. Tacloban City,
Leyte province, with a population of over 200,000 people, has been
devastated, with most houses destroyed.
An aerial survey revealed almost total destruction in the coastal areas
of Leyte province.
AFFECTED POPULATION: 2,145,359 families (9,996,065 persons) in nine
regions—over 10 percent of the country’s population—are affected
By 6 November, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) assessed the
system as a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon on the Saffir-Simpson
hurricane wind scale; the storm passed over the island of Kayangel in
Palau shortly after attaining this strength.
it continued to intensify; at 1200 UTC on 7 November the Japan
Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the storm's maximum ten-minute
sustained winds to 235 km/h (145 mph), the highest in relation to the
cyclone. At 1800 UTC, the JTWC estimated the system's one-minute
sustained winds to 315 km/h (195 mph), unofficially making Haiyan the
fourth most intense tropical cyclone ever observed.
On the morning of 8 November, category 5 Typhoon Haiyan (locally
known as Yolanda) made a direct hit on the Philippines, a densely
populated country of 92 million people, devastating areas in 36 provinces.
The eye of the cyclone made its first landfall in the Philippines at Guiuan,
Eastern Samar, without any change in intensity.

8. CURRENT SITUATION – DAMAGED HOUSES

9. CURRENT ASSESSMENT – PUBLIC HEALTH AND MEDICAL
Communities are in need of better shelter, nutrition and clean water to prevent
a further spread of acute respiratory infections in the coming months.
As foreign medical teams that have focused on trauma injuries begin to leave
the country, gaps will occur for basic health care.
Operational health facilities are reportedly overstretched, and there is still
overall poor coverage of services in particular along the Eastern coast of Samar
and Cebu.
Cases of acute malnutrition continue to rise. Tacloban: 9 severe and 19
moderate; Eastern Visayas Region: 7 moderate and 9 severe
VACCINATION CAMPAIGN: On November 22, the vaccination campaign was
officially launched. The Department of Health has requested support for their
Vaccination program, covering measles, tetanus and polio in children, TB
(BCG) and Hepatitis B for newborns, and for influenza and pneumococcal
within the elderly. The lack of consistent power is affecting the rapid scale
up of these processes as it hinders establishment of sufficient cold chain
capacity.
MATERNAL HEALTH: An estimated 389,500 pregnant and lactating women
need specialized services for prenatal, postnatal, child health, health
promotion and family planning. Daily, an estimated 865 births take place in
the affected communities. About 129 of these will have potentially lifethreatening complications

DISEASE/ INJURY
• Two leptospirosis deaths have been verified: A 22-year-old male from
Tacloban City and a 58-year-old male from Palo, Leyte
• DOH confirms that there have been a number of tetanus cases. Those
verified were all males whose ages ranged from 19 to 60 years. One came
from Tolosa, Leyte and the rest from Tacloban. All of them are alive. A team
of medical experts from the San Lazaro Hospital in Manila was deployed to
Tacloban to attend to typhoon victims who contracted tetanus,
• Top health conditions reported are acute respiratory infections, injuries and
wounds, fever, diarrhea, hypertension, asthma and insomnia, as well as
chronic conditions.
• The risk of outbreaks of diarrheal diseases and measles is substantial given
the lack of safe water and sanitation, displacement and overcrowding, and
sub-optimal vaccination coverage.
At a meeting on Friday evening, 22 NOV 2013, where
representatives of several dozen domestic and foreign medical
groups described the biggest single public health problem to
emerge since the typhoon is acute respiratory infections,
including pneumonia which have been attributed to lack of
shelter, poor weather, and lack of clothing (NYT)

12. HIGHLIGHT BRIEF-PNEUMONIA
DESCRIPTION
TREATMENT
Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition that develops deep in the
lung and is usually caused by infection from viruses or bacteria. It is
spread through tiny particles of air coughed or exhaled by infected
persons. People can become ill with pneumonia by coming in contact
with infected individuals or with organisms in the air or on
contaminated surfaces. Despite advancements in treatment,
pneumonia remains a leading cause of death worldwide.
• Oral or intravenous antibiotics are the treatment of choice.
• Breathing support (oxygen masks, ventilation, etc.) may be needed
for those showing signs that they are not getting enough oxygen in
the blood (difficulty breathing, rapid breathing, blue discoloration of
the lips or fingertips, etc.).
RISK FACTORS
People most at risk for developing pneumonia are the very young,
the very old, and those with certain chronic conditions such as lung
disease or immune disorders such as HIV. Additional risk factors that
put a person at increased risk of pneumonia are poor nutrition, poor
sanitation and hygiene practices, living in impoverished and/or
overcrowded areas.
CURRENT SITUTATION
• At a meeting on Friday, 22 Nov 2013, representatives of several
dozen domestic and foreign medical groups described the biggest
single public health problem to emerge since the typhoon as acute
respiratory infections, including pneumonia which have been
attributed to lack of shelter, poor weather, and lack of clothing.
RECOMMENDATIONS
•
SYMPTOMS
The symptoms usually start 2-10 days after coming into contact with
the causative organisms.
Some of the common symptoms include:
• Sudden onset
• High fever
• Shaking chills
• Chest pain
• Cough producing phlegm
• Difficulty breathing
CDC – Pneumococcal Disease
American Family Physician – Pneumonia
Doctors Without Borders
Mayo Clinic
•
•
Wash hands with antimicrobial soap and water or by using
alcohol-based waterless gels. If hands have been in contact with
mucus or other secretions, use soap and water only.
Wear gloves and masks when dealing with people/patients with
cough or other warning signs of respiratory (lung) illness.
Change clothes if soiled with mucus or other secretions.

13. HIGHLIGHT BRIEF- MALNUTRITION
DESCRIPTION
TREATMENT
• Malnutrition is caused by inadequate or unbalanced nutrition.
• Malnutrition is the largest single contributor to disease according to the
UN’s Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN).
• Inhibits physical and mental development in children and can cause
mental retardation if severe at an early age
• Can cause women to give birth to low birth-weight babies
• Increase quality and quantity of food intake
• Nutrient supplementation
• People who cannot or will not eat may be fed intravenously or by a tube
inserted directly into the gastrointestinal tract
RISK FACTORS
• Illness or disease is often a factor of malnutrition either as a result or a
contributing cause
• Poor food choice, lack of food availability, or lack of nutritional food (even
if people get enough to eat, can cause malnourishment if the food does
not provide the proper nutrients)
• Injuries to the face or nerve damage to the muscles that control chewing
and/or swallowing
CURRENT SITUTATION
• The first cases of acute malnutrition have been diagnosed.
• Eastern Visayas region: 16 cases (7 moderate and 9 severe) of acute
malnutrition
• Cases also reported from the hospital at Tacloban airport
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Eat a well-balanced diet with adequate caloric intake to balance the
number of calories burned with the number of calories eaten each day.
• Take vitamins daily to supplement diet
SYMPTOMS
• Length of time to develop malnutrition depends on the severity of the
lack of nutrients
• There are a wide range of symptoms depending on the vitamin or mineral
that is deficient:
• Weight loss
• Thin or bloated body
• Pale, thick, and dry skin
• Bruises
• Rashes
• Thin hair that is tightly curled and pulls out easily
• Achy joints
• Gums bleed easily
• Swollen or shriveled and cracked tongue WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME
AMERICAN FAMILY PHYSICIAN
• Night blindness
JOHNS HOPKINS CHILDREN’S CENTER
PHILIPPINES NEWS AGENCY
• Increased sensitivity to light and glare
Prior to the typhoon malnutrition was present in the
Philippines. The conditions since the storm are only likely
to worsen the situation.

14. HIGHLIGHT BRIEF- MEASLES
DESCRIPTION
TREATMENT
• A respiratory disease caused by the measles virus
• Highly contagious – 90% of people without immunity (those
never vaccinated) sharing a living space with an infected person
will develop the disease
• Spread via respiration by coming in contact with fluids from an
infected person’s nose and mouth either directly or through
droplets in the air
• Complications are common and usually more severe in adults
• Most people with uncomplicated measles will recover without
specific treatment
• Rest and supportive care (e.g. fluids)
• Hospitalization for those with severe complications
•
examples include pneumonia, ear infection, encephalitis
(inflammation of the brain), corneal ulcerations, and miscarriage or
premature delivery in pregnant women
RISK FACTORS
• Not getting vaccinated
• Travel to or contact with someone who has travelled to
developing countries where measles is common (endemic),
vaccinations are limited, and/or malnutrition is common
• Sharing the same living space with an infected person
SYMPTOMS
Symptoms develop in unvaccinated people 9 to 12 days after
coming in contact with an infected person.
•
Fever (up to 40C or 104F)
•
The 3 C’s of Measles: Cough, Coryza (term that describes
inflammation in the upper respiratory tract [nasal cavities] that
commonly occurs with a ‘cold’), and Conjunctivitis (red eyes)
•
Runny nose
•
Loss of appetite
•
Rash -- classic symptom of measles
•
•
a generalized (covers the entire body), flat-to-slightly raised red
rash (see photo to the right)
appears several days after the fever starts
CURRENT SITUATION
• Much of the Philippines is not immunized against measles
• Medical and public health authorities have been monitoring for
potential outbreaks, but communications is still an issue
RECOMMENDATIONS
•
Individuals who have not been vaccinated should:
•
•
•
•
Confirm you have had the measles vaccine prior to travelling to
any endemic area
•
•
•
not share close spaces or intimate contact with infected persons
wear masks and gloves if contact with infected persons is
unavoidable
wash hands thoroughly with antimicrobial soap and hot water
vaccination is the primary and most effective method of prevention
most people in developed countries have been vaccinated
Infected individuals should be placed in isolation

15. HIGHLIGHT BRIEF- LEPTOSPIROSIS
DESCRIPTION
Leptospirosis is a disease caused by a type of bacteria. It is spread
by contacting the urine of an infected animal (usually rats). People
get sick by touching, eating, or drinking water or soil that has been
infected by animal urine. Outbreaks often happen with floodwaters
after a hurricane.
RISK FACTORS
TREATMENT
Leptospirosis is treated with antibiotics, usually doxycycline or
penicillin for a course of one week.
CURRENT SITUTATION
Two leptospirosis deaths have been verified: A 22-year-old male
from Tacloban City and a 58-year-old male from Palo, Leyte
Drinking, eating, or touching contaminated water or soil.
SYMPTOMS
People usually start getting sick with a fever, chills, and vomiting 2
days to 4 weeks after the bacteria enters their body. Without
treatment, people can be sick for a few days or sometimes more
than 3 weeks. Some people recover after a few days but will later
become sick again with life-threatening symptoms.
Some of the common symptoms include:
•
High fever
•
Headache
•
Chills
•
Muscle aches
•
Vomiting
•
Jaundice (yellow skin and eyes)
•
Red eyes
•
Abdominal Pain
•
Diarrhea
•
Rash
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Aid workers should avoid consuming any unfiltered water.
• Keep floodwater and soil off skin, especially, from the eyes, nose,
mouth, or open wounds.
• Anybody experiencing a combination of the listed symptoms
should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

24. HEALTH - NEEDS
•
NEEDS:
• The need for treatment capacity for TB, acute respiratory infections, dog
bites, and wounds related to debris clearing and reconstruction is increasing
As of 19 November, 942 (mainly hospitals) of 2,495 health facilities in the
affected area have been assessed; 104 are not functioning (11 per cent).
However, village-level health facilities are also largely not functioning,
creating a serious gap in health care.
•
Solar refrigerators and solar lamps are required for rural health units in
areas still without power.
• The need for emergency trauma care is decreasing, while the need for
primary health care is increasing
•
In the hardest hit areas, one third of the children suffer from malnutrition
while only 20 per cent have been fully immunized against measles, leaving
them particularly vulnerable to the deadly disease.
•
An estimated 389,500 pregnant and lactating women need specialized
services for pre-natal, post-natal and child health care, as well as health
promotion and family planning services. Daily, an estimated 865 births take
place in the affected communities. About 129 of these will have potentially
life-threatening complications. Comprehensive data on pregnant and
lactating women is needed to be able to address their needs
•
Injury management is urgently required. The Eastern Visayas Regional
Medical Center is the only operational hospital in Tacloban City.
•
According to preliminary reports, 25 health facilities in Region VIII are
serving over 200 000 affected people.
•
According to NDRRMC 12,501people have been injured, with numbers
expected to rise as more areas become accessible.
•
An oral polio vaccination campaign is necessary but is hampered by lack of
cold chain capacity.
•
Most drugstores have been looted and medicines, including family
planning supplies, are urgently required, particularly in Tacloban City.
HEALTH
• Repairs to health care facilities and basic services for patients – including
food and water – are urgently needed. Immediate action is needed to
provide a safe water supply at the Eastern Visayas Referral Medical Centre,
the main hospital for the region.
•
Disease surveillance needs strengthening. Reports of chickenpox, tetanus
and leptospirosis deaths have emerged. Partners report increased cases of
gastroenteritis, acute respiratory infection, fever, rashes and diarrhoea,
especially in children.
•
In Ormoc, partners confirm that the health situation is stable despite a few
cases of upper respiratory infection in children under five. Health services
have been fully restored, but drug supplies are running low.
•
•
The Government has prioritized the restoration of primary and hospital
health services, including the structural safety of hospitals, appropriate
medical waste management and infection control.
Basic and essential health care services must be expanded, including for
routine surgeries (e.g. Caesarians).

26. HEALTH – GAPS & CONSTRAINTS
HEALTH
GAPS & CONSTRAINTS:
•
Geographical coverage of health services needs to be expanded.
• The lack of electricity is undermining cold chain operations.
•
Capacity is stretched due to the limited number of health facilities in
operation. Overcrowding is increasing the risk of outbreaks of
infectious waterborne diseases.
• The following materials are needed to provide health services:
Interagency Emergency Health Kits, Reproductive Health kits, Diarrhoeal
Disease Kits and WASH supplies. Cholera kits should be kept on stand-by.
•
Transport costs and lack of fuel are hampering the health response.
•
A shortage of trained staff and poor internet connections are
hampering the emergency disease surveillance system.
• Basic and essential health care services, including routine surgical
capacity (including for Caesarians), must expand. There is an immediate
need for reproductive health kits across hardest hit areas.
•
The transport of patients to referral hospitals is still an issue due to the
lack of ambulances and fuel. This is improving as roads are cleared.
• The lack of access to safe water, overcrowding and displacement pose
serious risk of outbreaks of communicable diseases. Disease surveillance
needs to be strengthened.
•
Plans to fill gaps by the eventual departure of foreign medical teams
are required.
• Establishing temporary points for delivery of health services is critical as
infrastructure is damaged and people do not have access to medical care.
•
Available vaccines and supplies for planned campaigns are estimated to
be sufficient only for Eastern Visayas region. Volunteers are needed to
administer vaccines in these campaigns.
• Medical teams require fuel, water purification and safe accommodation.
•
The disease surveillance system is currently patchy due to a disrupted
communications network. Reporting and enquiries can be directed to
haiyanops@wpro.who.int.

29. NUTRITION
Cases of acute malnutrition continue to rise.
Tacloban: 9 severe and 19 moderate; Eastern Visayas Region: 7 moderate and 9 severe
NEED:
PRIORITIES (URGENT):
• Delay in access to affected populations increases likelihood of
deterioration of health and nutrition of affected populations with
potential outbreaks of diseases.
• Rapid nutrition assessments and screening for detection, referral,
and follow-up of girls, boys and women supported by local women's
groups, religious leaders, and child protections councils;
• 1.35 million children under five, 650,000 pregnant and lactating
women, and more than 800,000 elderly people in nine of the
country's 17 regions are at risk of malnutrition
• Prevent and manage acute malnutrition for 900,000 children under
5, and 300,000 pregnant and lactating women and older people
• Priority interventions needed include infant and young child feeding
(IYCF) Infant formula monitoring, micronutrient supplementation,
management of acute malnutrition, and health and nutrition
education.
• Disruption to maternal care and child feeding practices and damage
to WASH and health facilities place children and women at a high
risk of malnutrition, especially in high poverty areas.
• Pre-disaster data shows that the affected regions have high rates of
malnutrition (5 percent to 9 percent global acute malnutrition
(wasting), 21 percent to 26 per cent underweight and 38 percent to
42 percent stunting).
• Promote appropriate infant and young child feeding practices (IYCP)
for 200,000 children
• Establish community-based therapeutic feeding centers for girls and
boys with severe acute malnutrition integrated in to local health
systems;
• Provision of nutrition supplies for therapeutic feeding,
micronutrient supplements and equipment;
• Capacity-building on management of acute malnutrition and
nutrition in emergencies targeting local health staff;
•

42. CHILD PROTECTION & GENDER BASED VIOLENCE
PROTECTION
UPDATE:
• According to the Child Protection Working Group, 10% of Filipino
women and girls aged 15 to 49 have experienced sexual violence.
This percentage is expected to increase.
NEEDS:
•
URGENT: Identification and profiling of IDPs moving out of affected
areas is needed. Many are leaving through airports and seaports
with minimal (if any) controls. This increases the risk of exposure
to human trafficking.
•
Identification, documentation, tracing and reunification for
unaccompanied and separated children is needed. The number of
children displaced from Leyte and Samar Provinces arriving in Cebu
Province is increasing.
•
UNFPA has developed a $110 million plan for national authorities
and humanitarian partners to ensure that no woman dies giving
birth and that each woman and girl is protected from violence.
UNFPA launched an appeal for $30 million to fulfill its
commitments in the next six months.
•
UNICEF’s requests $61.5 million to respond to the needs of children
and women affected by Typhoon Haiyan. 28% currently remains
unfunded.
•
Approximately 3.2 million women of reproductive age and 5.5
million overall affected children need psychosocial support and
protection against violence, trafficking, and exploitation.
•
1.8 million children are estimated to be displaced.
•
Lighting is needed in the island barangays of Homonhon and Suluan
(Guiuan, Eastern Samar).
•
There needs to be de-congestion of camps. In Eastern Samar
Province, IDPs are living in overcrowded camps without separate
areas for women and children.
RESPONSE:
•
36 unaccompanied and separated children have been
identified.
•
Over 1,000 people have been registered at the Migration
Outflow Desk in Tacloban City.
•
A response desk at Villamor Airbase, Pasay City (Manila),
was established to monitor possible cases of trafficking
and/or unaccompanied, separated, or missing children.
•
Women and Child Protection Units have been set up in
Borongan, Balangkayan, Hernani, Llorente, Oras, Salcedo,
and San Julian municipalities (Eastern Samar).
•
Two new child-friendly spaces have been established in
Tacloban City.
•
Women and children protection desks have been set up in
three evacuation centers in Tacloban City.
•
UNFPA supports the deployment of female police officer
teams in 196 municipalities and safe haven reconstruction in
4 regions.
•
UNFPA will create safe women spaces in evacuation centers
while strengthening interagency protection mechanisms in
700 villages and barangays.
