More than 100 tonnes of Irish aid has arrived in the Philippines to help the relief efforts after one of the most devastating storms ever recorded.
More than 2-and-a-half thousand people have died and over 11 million have been affected by Typhoon Haiyan which struck the island nation last Friday.
Irish Aid has so far dispatched over 500-thousand euro worth of shelter supplies - with the UN calling for over 300 million euro in aid to help the victims.
Oxfam Ireland CEO Jim Clarken has welcomed the assistance.
He says the Government must be prepared to contribute more as the full scale of the disaster becomes clearer.
