Typhoon Haiyan: 30 members of one family missing after storm

Their faces stare from old photos, their voices silent since Super Typhoon Haiyan swept through Taclobanin the Philipbpines on Friday. At first Daisy Nemeth wasn't worried. Her family was close, they kept in touch. Soon, no doubt, she'd hear from her home in Hong Kong that all were safe. But three days later, that call hasn't come.

Around 30 family members are missing."It's my uncle, my mom's brother is missing. All his children, his wife, everyone. My cousin is missing with her six children, they range in age from 9 to 19. Then I have many, many other missing cousins. But these are the ones we're the closest with -- and they're nowhere to be found," Nemeth said.

Survivors face grim struggle she'd be there in a heartbeat to look for them herself, she said, but at six months' pregnant and a mother to twin toddlers, there's no way she can go, even if she could find a way in.

Instead, her family, some of whom are based in Denmark, has been trying to hire someone to go to Tacloban to search for them, but no one seems to want to go."If no one can or is even willing to do it, I can't even begin to imagine the situation there," she said."

In the Philippines you can buy anything and anyone. I hate to say it but that's the truth. So if we can't even pay someone to go in and look for them..." Nemeth said, her voice trailing off.
