Philippines Typhoon Disaster: Over 400 DEAD
 Philippines Typhoon Disaster: Over 400 DEAD and Hundreds Homeless
BBC News 24 DEC 2021.
At least 169 people have now died after a powerful storm struck the Philippines.
Super Typhoon Rai - with winds of about 195km/h (120mph) - sent some 300,000 people running for safety when it hit the country’s south-eastern islands on Thursday.
Rescue teams have described scenes of “complete carnage”.
But establishing the scale of the losses is difficult, as communication to a number of areas has been cut off.
There are fears widespread landslides and flooding may have claimed more lives.
