The number of people in the Philippines confirmed dead from Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda now stands at 3,631, officials say. UN and local agencies have issued conflicting tolls, and the final figure is likely to rise still higher.

GRC Member Jonelle Nikolai Crisostomo has suggested the best way to get aid to his typhoon-ravaged country.
