In the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan's devastation of the Philippines, reports are circulating (in, e.g., the Guardian) of rampaging mobs looting a provincial capital.

I beg you not to believe them. We often hear stories like this after natural disasters, but no one who's actually investigated gives them any credence.

On the order of 10,000 people are dead. The survivors need relief, not slander. Give what you can.
