More victims are receiving help but a BBC correspondent at the scene says there is still no largescale food distribution taking place. The first mass burials have been carried out in Tacloban. The confirmed death toll, more than 2,300, is expected to continue rising. More than 11 million people have been affected by the typhoon, according to the UN.
