Philippines: Nearly 100 dead and dozens missing after tropical storm This is how Trump regains power

The number of dead and missing from violent tropical storm “Nalgae” in the Philippines has continued to rise. On Monday, 98 dead and 63 missing were registered, the Southeast Asian island nation’s civil defense department said. Nearly 70 people were injured in the floods and landslides. More than 900,000 of those affected had to leave their homes, 200,000 of whom are currently in evacuation centers, it said.

The storms initially caused major damage in the south of the Philippines at the end of last week. More than 100 houses were buried by mounds of earth in Maguindanao province. “Nalgae” then moved to the northwest. The West Visayas region and the provinces of Cavite, Laguna and Batangas south of the capital Manila were particularly affected.

The storm, dubbed “Paeng” in the Philippines, is expected to leave the country on Monday afternoon (local time) and head toward southern China, the weather service said. He drove with wind speeds of 85 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 105 kilometers per hour. (sda/dpa)
