TACLOBAN, Philippines (AFP) - US Secretary of State John Kerry visited the typhoon-devastated central Philippine city of Tacloban on Wednesday, expressing shock at the death and destruction and vowing that Washington will not abandon its key ally.
"It really is quite stunning. It looks like a war zone in every respect and for a lot of people it is," he said.
"You have to see this to really believe it, and to feel it and understand it."
