Migration Matters 
In this case study, Dr. Yvonne Su describes the situation in and around Tacloban City, Philippines, after the devastating disaster known as Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. She dissects the government and international community’s response to the crisis and the nature of the displacement faced by Tacloban residents.
This series was originally produced by Migration Matters e.V. for an Erasmus+ Virtual Exchange that invites refugees and non-refugee students from all over Europe and the Southern Mediterranean to learn together in an interactive, online classroom. These videos have been produced under a contract with the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, financed by the European Union’s budget. The opinions expressed are those of the contractor and do not represent the contracting authority’s official position.

Hi, just wanted to say, this video was extremely helpful. I was young when the typhoon happened and I'm aware of the poor action taken by the government in helping the victims recover. But this really explained the specifics of it. Thank you!
