Typhoon Man-yi strikes northern Philippines, displacing over 750,000 people

Typhoon Man-yi struck the northern Philippines on Sunday, displacing over 750,000 people into emergency shelters. The storm, with winds reaching 195 kilometers per hour, caused significant damage, particularly in Catanduanes, where power outages and tidal surges were reported. This typhoon is the sixth major storm to hit the country in less than a month, following a series of severe weather events that have already left over 160 people dead and affected 9 million. The government is responding with aid from international allies. As a precaution, 26 domestic airports and two international airports were temporarily closed, and ferry services were suspended. The situation has raised concerns about food supplies, particularly rice, due to extensive damage to agriculture and infrastructure.
