Typhoon Haiyan roared through the central islands of the Philippines, causing mass devastation and wiping out entire cities and towns.
In the wake of the islands’ strongest typhoon on record, some officials estimate that 10,000 or more people have been killed by the storm, washed away by the churning waters that poured in from the Pacific or buried under mountains of trash and rubble.

Several Latino celebrities took to social media to offer condolences, asking their thousands of followers for donations and prayer:
