Rosario Capidos cries thanking God that she and her family survived typhoon Haiyan as she prays during Sunday Mass at the damaged Santo Nino Church in Tacloban November 17, 2013.

There have been a couple of days passed since the Super Typhoon Yolanda, as Haiyan locally known as, hit central Philippines. However, the survivors in the region are still struggling to lead a normal life as there is still a scarcity of basic supplies. However, there seems to be a 'Great Divide' between the poor and the affluent on how they are dealing with the aftermath of the disaster, InterAksyon reports.

Every house that belongs to the poor is made of wood on Real Street in Tacloban. All of those houses have been totally wiped out. There is no wall or roof in those that are still standing. On the other hand, the people who belong to the upper class have concrete houses. The house of a poor man here looks no better than debris, while the buildings of the rich have locked gates to stay secure.

According to InterAksyon, the rich man's gate is not open to the poor who are living their life in utter misery at the moment. A laundrywoman of one of the more affluent families prefer to keep the gates locked as she was apprehensive that some poor men might come and attack them in search of food.

Another four-storied building stands erect on the Gomez Street. A Chinese businessman along with three of his sisters owns the building which has hardly suffered any damage even though the neighbourhood looks awful. The building has only suffered from water supply and power cut, like everyone else. The owner's family left after locking every store in the house.

News5 stumbled upon Carmen, a 78-year-old woman, who had been walking all around in search of food which seemed hard to find in the debris. She asked the journalists where they had extra food. She informed that she did not eat anything for many days. She apparently got ecstatic when she was given three small bars of Kitkat.

Meanwhile, the number of unclaimed corpses keeps on growing. The latest figures of death toll stands at 3,633, while about 12,487 remain injured.
