Survivors of Typhoon Haiyan have spoken of death and devastation in the worst-hit areas of the Philippines, while aid is still struggling to reach remote areas.
Five days after the storm made landfall, international aid is flowing in, but access to remote areas remains a major problem.
In the hard-hit regional city of Tacloban, the airport has limited access to power.
Planes can't land in the dark, so air traffic is restricted to daylight hours.
Listen: Aid delivery a challenge in the Philippines, Kathy Novak reports from Cebu
Nestor Benitez was in Tacloban when the storm struck.
"At first I was not terrified, because we did not know there was going to be a tidal wave or a tsunami," he told SBS reporter Kathy Novak.
"We thought there were going to be just strong winds."
Mr Benitez was staying on the second floor of a building that was just 15 metres from the shore.
"By six o'clock in the morning, when I looked out of the window, I saw there was already no more water from our side, the water has receded around 15 metres."
Then, he noticed the area was "filled up" with around eight metres of water.
"I noticed that our floor was moving a little bit and there was air and bubbles on our wooden floor."
Mr Benitez and his family climbed onto the roof of the building to escape flood waters. Later, they walked more than three hours to the airport where they were eventually evacuated.
"All the people were on the streets, they were not in their houses because all their houses were destroyed."
"Bodies lying down on the street, stiff bodies and children," he added.
"This is a warzone, it needs more than just words to put things in order."
"We need international help."
SBS Radio's Filipino program will host a two-hour radiothon on Friday (November 15) to raise funds for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in The Philippines. The radiothon, airing in conjunction with the Australian Red Cross, will be broadcast on Friday from 10am to noon (AEST) on SBS Radio 2.
