WHAT IT SHOWS: A man washes with water from a bucket outside his temporary home on the site of his former home that was destroyed by Typhoon Haiyan. Typhoon Haiyan, or Typhoon Yolanda as it is known in the Philippines, was the deadliest typhoon to hit the Philippines to date and is known to have killed over 5,700 people. It made landfall on 7 November 2013 and reached wind speeds of over 140 miles per hour.
