Photographer John Javellana is on the ground in Philippines in the wake of a Super Typhoon that has killed thousands.
Survivors of the storm in Samar asked him to take pictures of them, in hopes that the images would be shared and they could reach their families.
The results are incredibly powerful.
He also tweeted updates and images from his personal account.
Saw hundreds of families flocking to Tacloban to find out the fate of loved ones. Most of them have no supplies and can be stuck as well
