As a result of the passage of the tropical storm "Trami" in the Philippines, 66 people died. Several regions of the country were flooded, causing large-scale evacuations and displacements. According to local authorities, more than 40,000 people were forced to leave their homes and seek refuge. Emergency services are working at the limits of their capabilities to assist the affected and provide necessary help.
Rescuers evacuated people using boats from flooded areas, trying to get them to safe locations. According to meteorologists, rainfall continues and the likelihood of new evacuations remains high. Wind speeds reached 65 km/h, which only exacerbated the destruction in regions affected by natural disasters.
The country’s leader announced the declaration of a state of emergency in the affected areas to ensure necessary aid and resources for saving lives and restoring infrastructure. Authorities urge citizens to adhere to precautions and follow the instructions of rescuers for their own safety.
