Powerful typhoon hits Philippines

A family carrying food relief for victims of Typhoon Bopha walks amongst boulders and rocks along a river as they head for home in the village of Andap in the town of New Bataan in the Compostela Valley province of the Philippines, on December 8, 2012. Hungry and homeless typhoon survivors appealed for help as the ravaged southern Philippines mourned hundreds of dead, and desperate people in one hard-hit town looted shops in search of food.
