Why did the typhoon Haiyan affect people?

Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines in November 2013, affected people severely due to its unprecedented strength and destructive winds, resulting in widespread devastation. The storm caused massive flooding, destruction of homes, and loss of infrastructure, leading to significant displacement and loss of life. Vulnerable populations, especially in impoverished regions, faced heightened risks due to inadequate housing and limited resources for recovery. The disaster highlighted the challenges of climate change and the need for improved disaster preparedness and response strategies.
