Super Typhoon ‘Man-Yi’ Causes Devastation in the Philippines
Super Typhoon ‘Man-Yi’ struck the Philippines, resulting in at least eight fatalities, primarily from landslides. This marks the sixth severe storm to hit the nation in a month. The typhoon brought winds of 195 km/h, uprooted trees, toppled electricity poles, and caused flooding, forcing over 685,000 individuals to evacuate. More than 1.2 million people were preemptively moved to safety. The Philippines faces a high frequency of storms annually, exacerbated by climate change effects that lead to stronger and more prolonged weather events.
