Philippines faces another typhoon, Man-Yi, after Usagi's destruction, with UN seeking $32.9 million in aid for worst-affected regions.
Hundreds flee as Typhoon Man-Yi approaches, while rescuers struggle to reach those stranded by previous storm, Typhoon Usagi, which killed 163.
Five major storms have battered the archipelago nation in the last three weeks, killing at least 163 people and prompting the United Nations to request $32.9 million in aid for the worst-affected regions. “We expect thousands more to evacuate in the hours before landfall, Roberto Monterola, operations chief of the Catanduanes civil defence office told AFP.“We do not have enough evacuation centres, so some of them will be sheltering with neighbours who own houses made of stronger materials.”On Thursday, flash floods driven by Usagi struck 10 largely evacuated villages around the town of Gonzaga in Cagayan province, local rescue official Edward Gaspar told AFP by phone.
“We have yet to account for the exact number of hogs, cattle and poultry lost from the floods, but I can say the losses were huge,” Gaspar said. “Most evacuees have returned home, but we held back some of them. We have to check first if their houses are still safe for habitation,” Bonifacio Espiritu, operations chief of the civil defence office in Cagayan, told AFP.
