Typhoon Haiyan 6 months on: Aida's story

Six months ago Typhoon Haiyan swept through the central Philippines, killing more than 6,000 people and displacing half a million.

The city of Tacloban was devastated by the storm.

Aida Padilla Arteche was lucky not to lose any immediate members of her family. But her printing shop was directly hit by the storm surge and the business left in ruins.

Like almost everybody here Aida has no insurance. The bank has refused her a new loan because she now has no collateral.

Aida spoke to BBC News about the struggle to recover.
