WE CAN HELP THESE PEOPLE, WE CAN PROVIDE MONEY FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO NOW HAVE NOTHING. JUST THINK THE FACT THAT YOU ARE WEARING DRY CLOTHES IS A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN SOME PEOPLE HAVE. SO PLEASE CUMBERFANS AND SHERLOCKIANS (OR ANYONE) PLEASE GIVE WHAT YOU CAN.
Thousands of people are feared to have been killed by Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the central Philippines on Friday.
The UN says more than 11 million people are believed to have been affected by the storm, and some 673,000 displaced.
The relief operation is being stepped up, but food, water and shelter are still badly needed aid officials say.
Bodies remain uncollected, local government has been wiped out, and central government, which is meant to have taken over, is almost invisible.
Valerie Amos, the UN's Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief, is in Manila to head the aid operation. She told the BBC the storm had been far worse than expected, and that people in the affected regions were "absolutely desperate".
"They need food, they need water, they need shelter. People need to be protected," she said.
