Typhoon Trami Devastates Philippines, Death Toll Exceeds 60

Severe flooding displaces thousands as rescue efforts face significant challenges.

  • The death toll from Typhoon Trami in the Philippines has risen to over 60, with many areas still inaccessible to rescue teams.
  • Approximately 193,000 people have been evacuated due to severe flooding caused by the storm's heavy rains.
  • Some regions experienced rainfall in two days equivalent to two months, leading to unprecedented flooding and landslides.
  • Rescue operations are hindered by blocked roads and saturated grounds, with many residents stranded on rooftops awaiting assistance.
  • Experts attribute the increasing frequency and intensity of storms in the Asia-Pacific region to climate change, which causes storms to form closer to coasts and last longer on land.
