TACLOBAN: Survivors of Super Typhoon Haiyan prayed for their dead loved ones in the devoutly Catholic Philippines on Wednesday (Nov 8) as they commemorated the 10th anniversary of a storm that killed more than 6,000 people.

Haiyan, one of the strongest storms ever recorded, unleashed winds of up to 315km an hour and whipped up tsunami-like waves that devastated central islands in the archipelago nation.
