Dozens have died and hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced after Typhoon Rai slammed into the Philippines.
Residents gather next to their destroyed house in Carcar, Philippines on 18 December, 2021, days after Super Typhoon Rai hit the city.Philippine emergency teams on Saturday rushed aid to areas battered by the strongest typhoon to hit the country this year, killing at least 31 people and displacing more than 330,000.
Sixteen of the fatalities were from the central province of Cebu, about 570 kilometres south of Manila, while other areas that reported multiple deaths were the nearby provinces of Bohol and Negros Oriental, the national disaster agency said. Most of the victims died after being hit or crushed by falling trees or collapsing structures, while others drowned in floodwaters or were swept away by swollen rivers.
Typhoon Odette hit our area and there have been no electricity for 36+ hours, I'm low on food & water because I can't store perishable goods, my devices are almost out of power but I'm safe and our building is undamaged so I suppose that counts. Stay safe everyone!
