Popular Philippine town left in ruins

The tourist haven town of Guiuan was the first to be hit by Typhoon Haiyan and it has been destroyed.

Guiuan used to be a picturesque tourist town with a 16th century church as one of its main attractions, but now it has all gone.

The US military is airlifting relief goods around the clock and has taken control of the destroyed air field. Aid is just starting to reach the area.
