Tacloban: Philippine survivors of Super Typhoon Haiyan recalled their terror and loss while gathered at a mass grave for thousands killed five years ago in the country’s worst storm on record.

Then the strongest storm to ever hit land, Haiyan left more than 7,360 people dead or missing across the central Philippines with its tsunami-like storm surges wiping out communities and triggering a global humanitarian response.
