Typhoon Man-yi strikes northern Philippines, displacing over 750,000 people
A powerful typhoon, named Man-yi, struck the northern Philippines, causing significant damage and displacing over 750,000 people. This storm is the sixth major one to hit the country in less than a month, with winds reaching 195 kilometers per hour. The typhoon made landfall in Catanduanes, leading to tidal surges over 7 meters high. The province lost power, and many residents sought refuge in emergency shelters. Officials warned of a potentially catastrophic situation as the storm moved northwest. Previous storms have already caused extensive damage, affecting 9 million people and resulting in over 160 deaths. The government is receiving international aid to assist with disaster response efforts as the country faces ongoing challenges from severe weather.
