Desperate residents have resorted to stealing fuel from a gasoline station in Tacloban City just three days after super typhoon "Yolanda" brought devastation to the city. Video footage showed several residents siphoning off the fuel from a local gas station while others stood in line with plastic containers. Some local officials at the scene tried to dissuade the residents but their plea fell on deaf ears. In previous days, residents looted groceries and other shops as they scramble for dwindling food supplies. Yesterday, a local businessman urged President Aquino to declare martial law in Tacloban due to widespread lawlessness but Aquino said he will study the option. ANC NEWS NOW, November 11, 2013
