Philippine officials say flooding triggered by Typhoon Kalmaegi has killed 114 people and left 127 others reported missing, authorities told the Associated Press. Heavy rains and flash floods have swept through affected areas, causing widespread inundation, damage to homes and infrastructure, and displacement of communities.
Search-and-rescue teams are continuing operations to find survivors and recover the missing. Local and national agencies are coordinating emergency response, setting up temporary shelters, and prioritizing medical care, food, clean water and power restoration for displaced families.
"We are working around the clock to find survivors and assist affected communities," an official said, urging residents to follow evacuation orders and safety guidance.
