. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ welcome to the news hour, i'm with the center in doha, these are top stories, 10,000 dead and 10 million effected in the philippines, the aftermath of typhoon haiyan. picking up pace but need more planes and more volunteers. also on the program saving the children we report on the biggest polio vaccination in the east. a tiny city drowning in rubbish and madrid is such a mess.
5:01 am
♪ welcome to the program, the philippines is in a state of calamity and the world is responding and millions of dollars are pouring in and they are sending war ships following the worst storms in history and the number of people dead is climbing and put the total at 1744. however, the u.n. says 10,000 people are feared dead in a city of tocloban and millions left their homes and aid is extremely difficult. in total close to 10 million have been effected by the disaster. we have reporters covering different areas of the country. later in the day we will hear from wayne who is in one of the worst hit areas and we are in the capital manila looking at aid distribution and we have one in northern sadoo and people
5:02 am
were in desperate need of food and a few aid workers reached the area and this is a update she filed a short time ago. >> attention from rescue workers so far and people are quite desperate for food and water. this is basically an area and driving through the island there is no damage whatsoever and then suddenly you reach this area of complete destruction. the storm has landed here pretty harshly as well and i'm here in a little area where behind me six houses were just completely flattened from the storm and people in front of me and along the whole road children are holding up signs, huge signs saying help, we need food. so hundreds of children are on this road asking for help and food and so far only a few aid organizations have reached these people here. >> reporter: al jazeera has been at an aide center in the
5:03 am
capitol manila and sent this update. >> they have been busy before days even before typhoon haiyan came and preparing relief goods for the people in central philippines they knew would be effected by the super storm but the government wasn't aware of how bad it was going to be, nothing could prepare them for that. since the storm hit on friday thousands of volunteers have come here to warehouse which is just off of manila's domestic airport asking the airport to let them help. the people you see behind me here are volunteers, students, office workers, ordinary people who walked in and called and given up their time to try to feel a little bit impotent they say and want to feel they are helping the more than 9 million people that have been effected by this super storm. now, they are packing family packs which is basically a little bit of rice and a little can goods and water as well-being put into plastic bags
5:04 am
and trying to produce 20,000 packs a day and from here it's transported by military aircraft in the southern philippines and from there on ward distribution to some of the effected areas. the problem is infrastructure is very, very bad. so some of these goods end up sitting in another warehouse at another.and just waiting until it can be hand delivered for hours to the villages that need it most and making things a little more complicated is the fact there is a storm over the central islands right now. >> reporter: and margo is back at the studio in manila and things looked organized at the relief center where you were earlier and thousands of people in remote areas who are getting no help at all. >> yes, exactly. infrastructure remains quite bad and relief workers at the destination point are actually having to work for hours just to get to the villages that were completely devastated and where survivors are finding shelter
5:05 am
where they can. more often than not the side of the road or vehicles overturned. but to get to them with relief goods people are walking from 8-12 hours. now the military said it sent over two battalions and the british are sending help and the main goal is to clear the areas so relief can be distributed in a more organized manner and more can get to the people faster. >> reporter: are centers like these able to cope with just the sheer numbers of people who desperately need help? >> well, believe it or not the centers have told us it's the sheer number of volunteers that they are having trouble with now. there are more volunteers that than can actually cope with. like in the center we were at earlier for example they already had thousands of people come in they had to put them on shift work. they are working overnight 24 hours a day, they give them basically an orientation seminar that lasts about an hour and after that they are having to
5:06 am
tell people to go home because they work longer than the shifts that they have been given. some work between 5-8 hours. some are willing to stay for 12 hours. as it is they have a roster they say full until next week of volunteers. >> reporter: let me get a final thought from you, how are ordinary people coping? you are in the capitol manila where they have not been effected as have other areas but i mean what are they telling you about how this is effected their lives and their livelihood? >> this is actually almost paralyzed the country. it's 10% of the population that has been effected by this. 10%, almost 10 million people. so everybody who actually wasn't physically there feels impotent and need to be doing something to be shown to be helping those that need it the most. many of the people outside have relatives in these areas. some of them still waiting for word as to whether their relatives are even alive.
5:07 am
right now there is really one of the strongest senses of community i have ever seen here and we have been in the philippines covering this place now for 8 years and al jazeera had a bureau here and never seen the response we see now to typhoon haiyan. >> and we are in the capitol of manila and thank you. let's focus on international aid and dozens of foreign governments pledged money to bolster the relief effort and the generous is united states is giving $20 million for immediate assistance and ships and aircraft and the u.n. has a war ship and military aircraft on top of $16 million in aid and smaller nations promised smaller and japan pledged $10 million and a 25-member disaster relief team. compare that with china, one of the world's top countries and it pledged just $100,000.
5:08 am
the regional spokesman for unicef says that aid needs to get distributed as soon as possible. >> at the moment we are looking at a total of around 4 million children who have been effected and the ones that are in urgent need of life-saving aid probably in the hundreds of thousands, 2-300,000 is a guess. we are doing assessments to work that out. we have four teams at the moment that are conducting assessments but you are right, the big issue is how to get the aid to those children in need. they desperately need food and shelter and access to clean water and sanitation if we are going to avoid the second wave of natural disasters which is typhus and coloria and we are hopeful and hope the philippine government does a fantastic job
5:09 am
and army of clearing the roads and opening the airport and also reestablishing some of the bridge learns that allow aid to go in and we are in an odd situation right at this moment which is that because it's taken so long and there is no fault in that, that is just because of the level of the devastation, people are desperate now. and so once the roads have opened, the bridges have opened what we are seeing is people flooding out, which is blocking access in. the key to -- they are running for obvious reasons, if they have no food they want to get out to where there is food but we can't get the food in because they are blocking the roads we would use to get the food in. >> reporter: ex philippines in the united states are helping out friends and families back home and communities are mobilizing by setting up fundraising across the united states donating food and clothes and sending to those in need and
5:10 am
waiting for relatives who were caught up in the storm. >> i went to church yesterday, last sunday to pray for the safety. until now we don't receive any news. we just receive my nephews, i have a daughter over there, they climbs to the mountains and they are safe. >> reporter: there is more of course on our website, you find a gallery of some of the most striking images from the philippines at al jazeera.com, there it is on the screen and updated 24 hours a day. some other news the u.s. secretary of state expects a deal to suspend or limit tehran nuclear enrichment in months and they are blaming each other for not reaching a deal and i ran said it will allow the u.n. more access to its sites and patty has more. >> john kerry literally running to embrace concerned allies here
5:11 am

5:12 am
the already complex nuclear discussions. >> reporter: the u.s. congress could further complicate the discussions as allies of the israeli government are set to consider additional sanctions on iran and kerry warned it could scuttle the negotiations but william hague said it could send an important message to iran warning what will happen if a deal is not reached. >> it's very important for the iranians authorities to understand the pressure will be there for greater sanctions unless an agreement is reached on these matters. >> reporter: the six world powers negotiating with iran has confidence that a deal will be reached in months. at the same time saying france is not to blame for the negotiations in geneva but iran was not ready to take the deal and allegations the iranians deny. iran which insisted the program is for peaceful purposes did sign a deal with the head of the international atomic energy
