Ten million euros of additional EU aid for the rehabilitation of Typhoon Haiyan-affected areas of the Philippines were announced Tuesday by EU Development Commissioner, Andris Piebalgs, in his last day of visit to the country. Piebalgs in press statements said "beyond humanitarian assistance, the EU is already making resources for rehabilitation and reconstruction available to ensure that there is a smooth transition from the crisis management to rebuilding people's lives." Areas for intervention can include water and sanitation rehabilitation, power grid repairs, basic health, livelihood support, shelter and repair of infrastructure, he noted. At least 10,000 people are reported dead after Typhoon Haiyan struck the central Philippines on Friday
