The United Nations humanitarian chief Valerie Amos has said aid is not reaching survivors of Typhoon Haiyan quickly enough. Ms Amos is the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. She spoke to reporters in Manila yesterday and explained how urgent it was to act more quickly. She said: "The situation is dismal. Those who have been able to leave have done so. Many more are trying. People are extremely desperate for help." She added: "We need to get assistance to them now. They are already saying it has taken too long to arrive. Ensuring a faster delivery is our immediate priority." Early efforts at providing assistance were hampered by continuing bad weather.

聯(lián)合國人道主義救援主席阿莫斯稱物資沒有按時運抵臺風海燕的受災群眾。阿莫斯女士目前是聯(lián)合國副秘書長，同時也是緊急救援協(xié)調員。昨天，她在馬尼拉對記者做出了以上結論，并解釋了情況緊急的原因。她說：“情況很不好。能夠離開的已經離開了。但是許多人還在嘗試著這么去做。人們急需幫助。”她還說：“我們需要給予他們幫助。他們稱救災物資的運抵時間太長了。確保迅速運達是我們的頭等大事。”由于連續(xù)不斷的糟糕天氣，物資運抵受到了影響。

Typhoon Haiyan is possibly the strongest on record to make landfall. Meteorologists say the violent storm packed winds of up to 315kph. It is believed over 10,000 people perished in the city of Tacloban alone. Hundreds of thousands are now homeless after the typhoon flattened almost everything in its path. The New York Times reported there being "typhoon gridlock" as the destroyed infrastructure is making the logistics of distributing aid a nightmare. People are desperate for water. The Doctors Without Borders charity said: "Access is extremely difficult and is preventing people from receiving help." Christian Aid said: "The devastation here is unimaginable."

臺風海燕或將成為史上最強臺風。氣象學家稱風暴時速高達每小時315公里。人們認為僅僅塔克洛班市一座城市的死亡人數(shù)就超過了1萬人。數(shù)萬人無家可歸，臺風所到之處一片狼藉。紐約時報報道稱這是“臺風堵塞”，被摧毀的基礎設施讓物資供應變成了噩夢。”人們急缺水資源。醫(yī)生無國界慈善組織稱：“進入災區(qū)非常困難，人們也無法得到幫助。基督徒互援會稱：“災難程度無法想象。”
