Aeriel footage shows how Tacloban has recovered six months on from the natural disaster. Some details:

Six months on from Typhoon Haiyan, The Telegraph’s Lewis Whyld, who covered its immediate aftermath with an unmanned drone, returns to see how the worst affected city is recovering
Nearly six months after Typhoon Haiyan swept through the central Philippines killing more than 6,300 people, one of the worst hit cities is struggling to find its feet.

Political rivalries, a lack of resources and the devastating impact the disaster had on Tacloban’s people and economy mean reconstruction has proved slow.On the eve of Haiyan’s six-month anniversary The Telegraph’s Lewis Whyld, who covered its immediate aftermath with an unmanned drone, returned to see how the worst affected city was recovering.

Sadly, when recovery lacks direction and resources, the result is a “snap back” by people desperate to put their lives back together.  As noted in the final paragraph of the article:

There are signs up and everybody knows the rule that you can’t build near the sea but it is blindingly obviously that they are doing that. The first thing I saw was that everyone is rebuilding exactly where they were living previously. At the moment it is really up in the air for a lot of families.”
