Typhoon Usagi triggers evacuations in Philippines as storms continue to batter region

A strong typhoon, named Usagi, struck the northeastern Philippines, leading to more evacuations. This is the fifth major storm to hit the region in three weeks, with winds reaching 175 kilometers per hour. The United Nations is requesting $32.9 million to assist around 210,000 people affected by the storms. The Philippine government has already spent over 1 billion pesos on aid for storm victims. Authorities warned of dangerous tidal surges and urged ships to stay in port. Another storm is developing in the Pacific, potentially impacting the northern Philippines this weekend.
