Résumé du livre
In November 2013, the strongest storm ever recorded at landfall devastated the central Philippines. Super Typhoon Haiyan - known in the Philippines as Yolanda - killed 7,000 people and forced more than four million from their homes. One and a half years later, the reconstruction process is well underway. This report examines progress towards the resolution of the displacement crisis caused by Typhoon Haiyan. It also draws out insights from experiences in the Philippines that may help inform the resolution of other post-disaster displacement crises - a challenge that is expected to grow in future owing to the effects of climate change.
