Typhoon victims recover a television set from the ruins of a house destroyed during the onslaught of Typhoon Hagupit in San Julian, eastern Samar in central Philippines December 9, 2014. Philippine emergency workers were struggling on Tuesday to reach coastal villages on an island hardest hit by a typhoon where thousands of homes have been wrecked by powerful winds and a storm surge rising three to four metres (10 to 13 feet). Nearly 13,000 houses were crushed and more than 22,300 damaged on the eastern island of Samar, where Typhoon Hagupit made landfall on Saturday and made slow progress across the country, officials said.
