Guiuan, one of the first places to be hit by the typhoon, has been reduced to rubble. Many of its building have been reduced to piles of debris. This has also happened in many other places where the typhoon hit. Many trees have been uprooted, and cars overturned. Planes have crashed and boats have ploughed into land. Many important buildings, for example, airports are destroyed, which prevents aid getting through. Extent of Typhoon Haiyan
