Humanitarian response to Typhoon Haiyan#United States

The United Nations said it was going to increase critical relief operations as a result of the devastation caused by the typhoon. Its Manila office issued a statement that read, "Access remains a key challenge as some areas are still cut off from relief operations. Unknown numbers of survivors do not have basic necessities such as food, water and medicines and remain inaccessible for relief operations, as roads, airports and bridges were destroyed or covered in wreckage."{{cite web | url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-09/typhoon-haiyan-nearing-vietnam-after-killing-138-in-philippines.html | title=UN Rushes Aid as Typhoon Haiyan Leaves Philippines Counting Dead | publisher=Bloomberg News | date=November 10, 2013 | access-date=November 13, 2013 | author=Yap, Cecilia, Guinto, Joel & Bennett, Simeon}} The United Nations also began relief operations by this time; however, the severe damage to infrastructure hampered efforts to distribute supplies.{{cite news | url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/typhoon-haiyan-slams-into-northern-vietnam/ | title=Typhoon Haiyan slams into northern Vietnam | publisher=CBS News | agency=Associated Press | date=November 10, 2013 | access-date=November 10, 2013}} The UN activated the Cluster System, in which groups of humanitarian organizations (UN and non-UN) work to restore health, shelter, nutrition and economic activity.{{cite news| url=https://philippines.humanitarianresponse.info/system/files/documents/files/OCHA_SitRep22-Haiyan-10-Dec-2103.pdf| title=Philippines: Typhoon Haiyan Situation Report No. 22| date=10 December 2013| access-date=December 12, 2013| newspaper=OCHA| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140125092350/https://philippines.humanitarianresponse.info/system/files/documents/files/OCHA_SitRep22-Haiyan-10-Dec-2103.pdf| archive-date=25 January 2014| url-status=dead}}

The World Health Organization, which leads the Health Cluster, the largest one, has developed guidance on donations of medicine and healthcare equipment, so that the Philippines receives supplies appropriate for this emergency.

Media reports initially noted the disparate aid responses by the United States and China against the backdrop of rising tensions between the Philippines and China over the two countries's competing territorial claims in the South China Sea.{{cite web | url=http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/SEA-01-131113.html | title=US gives, China withholds in Philippine crisis | publisher=Asia Times | date=November 13, 2013 | access-date=November 15, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113145653/http://atimes.com/atimes/Southeast_Asia/SEA-01-131113.html | archive-date=November 13, 2013 | url-status=unfit }}{{cite web | url=http://blogs.cfr.org/asia/2013/11/13/typhoon-haiyan-the-philippines-the-united-states-and-china/ | title=Typhoon Haiyan, the Philippines, the United States, and China | publisher=Council of Foreign Relations | date=November 13, 2013 | access-date=November 15, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131116224101/http://blogs.cfr.org/asia/2013/11/13/typhoon-haiyan-the-philippines-the-united-states-and-china/ | archive-date=November 16, 2013 | url-status=live }}

Fox News initially criticized China for its contribution of US$100,000 cash each from the government and the Chinese Red Cross to the typhoon victims, which led to commentary about its disputes with the Philippines.{{cite web | url=https://www.foxnews.com/world/amid-territorial-spat-with-manila-chinas-paltry-offer-of-typhoon-aid-threatens-global-image | title=Amid territorial spat with Manila, China's paltry offer of typhoon aid threatens global image | publisher=Fox News | date=November 14, 2013 | access-date=November 15, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131114163602/http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/11/14/amid-territorial-spat-with-manila-china-paltry-offer-typhoon-aid-threatens/ | archive-date=November 14, 2013 | url-status=live }} Earlier in 2013, the Philippines sued China over the nine-dash line. Western commentators attributed this low amount to China's intentions to isolate the Philippines while strengthening its ties with the rest of Southeast Asia.{{cite news | url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24938874 | title=China's Philippine aid controversy | publisher=BBC News | date=November 14, 2013 | access-date=November 15, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131114191659/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-24938874 | archive-date=November 14, 2013 | url-status=live }} The move elicited mixed reactions from the Chinese public and government with some commending its decision while others, such as Global Times, a tabloid newspaper owned by the Chinese Communist Party, insisted that China should behave like a responsible power.
