Deadly Typhoon Man-yi Slams Philippines, Sixth Major Storm to Hit the Country in Past Month

HeadlineNov 18, 2024

In the Philippines, a landslide caused by Super Typhoon Man-yi killed at least seven people and destroyed dozens of houses in Nueva Vizcaya province as the northern Philippines suffered its sixth major storm in under a month.

Danilo Dagdagan: “The floodwater from the typhoon and the surrounding provinces gushed here because the elevation of the land here is lower. … It makes our lives difficult. It’s hard for us. Especially for those of us without sufficient food, it’s dreadful.”

Southeast Asia is one the world’s most vulnerable regions to the worsening climate crisis as rising ocean temperatures lead to more frequent and destructive storms.
