After killing thousands of people in the Philippines, the typhoon was downgraded to a tropical storm.

It made landfall in north Vietnam near the border with China, triggering evacuations across the region, as Paul Collins reports.

International aid finally reached the Philippines on Thursday, almost a week after Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the country's coastline.

A US aircraft carrier and its escort of two cruisers brought food and supplies to the region and further help is expected to arrive in the coming days.

Relief efforts across the worst hit areas are now said to be progressing, with many typhoon victims being buried in mass graves.

British and US warships are heading to the Philippines as the UN appeals for aid amid large-scale devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan.
