Powerful Typhoon Heads for Vietnam Following Claiming a Minimum of 114 Lives in Philippines
Before striking in Vietnam, the typhoon left a trail of devastation in the Philippines - and at least 114 people dead.
The nation's leader Ferdinand Marcos Jr has declared a state of emergency - which is triggered by numerous deaths, extensive property destruction, and interruption of income sources and daily routines for residents of impacted regions.
The weather system, referred to locally as Tino, ripped through the heavily populated island of Cebu, submerging entire towns and washing automobiles along avenues.
Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, others are resting in emergency shelters.
Emergency Relief Operations In Progress
Rescue teams have started operations while evacuated residents find refuge in temporary housing.
The extent of this disaster has led to massive emergency response across the devastated zones.
Visual Documentation of the Destruction
Disaster teams were captured engaged in extracting a body at the site of a landslide in Cebu City.
The severe weather has displaced in excess of 400k people in the Philippines.
Streets are covered in sediment and images show piles of cars spread over the affected areas.
- Mass evacuation efforts continue as the weather system nears Vietnamese territory
- Temporary housing are operating at peak capacity in multiple regions
