Super typhoon Haiyan (local codename Yolanda) left at least 138 people dead, while over four million people were affected in the Philippines, a senior government official said on Saturday evening. The country's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) executive director Eduardo del Rosario said there were also 14 people got injured, while four others were still missing. According to the latest data released by the NDRRMC, 118 of the 138 victims came from Central Philippine province of Leyte. Sixteen other fatalities came from Eastern Samar. The other 4 deaths belong to Mabate, Iloilo, Zamboanga City, and Surigao del Sur. Of the 944,597 families or 4.28 million individuals affected in 1,363 villages in 36 provinces, almost 74,000 families or over 342, 000 people were displaced and being served both inside and outside evacuation centers, the agency said. Power outage was also being experienced in certain provinces in seven regions struck by the typhoon, it added. Government agencies found hard time collating reports on the impacts of the typhoon in some areas, particularly in central province of Leyte, where huge devastation could have taken place, due to down communication lines, said del Rosario. Haiyan exited the Philippines Saturday afternoon.
