Ayon sa mga opisyal, maari raw na umabot 10,000 ang namatay dahil sa Typhoon Yolanda (International name: Haiyan). Karamihan nito ay ang mga nasa province ng Leyte. Ang dahilan ng pagkamatay ng karamihan ay sa paglulunod o nabagsakan ng mga gusali.
Sa Tacloban City, na nasa Leyte Province, walang communications, kuryente at tubig parin hanggang sa ngayon.
Sinasabing isa ito sa pinakamalakas na bagyo sa kasaysayan ng mundo. Sa lakas nito, masasabing kasing lakas nito ang strong Category 4 Hurricane ng U.S. Ayon kay Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas, ongoing parin ang rescue operations, kahit na mga 300-400 na bangkay na ang na-recover. Ayon naman kay Pangulong Aquino, ang priority ng gobyerno ngayon ay ma-restore ang kuryente at communications sa mga isolated areas, upang mapadalhan ng relief at medical goods ang mga tao (kapag may kuryente, maaari nang magkaroon ng cellphone communication at pwede narin makibalita mga tao sa TV).
