philippines tropical storm trami : Typhoon Trami has caused massive devastation in the Philippines. At least 26 people have died due to the storm and 1.5 lakh people have been forced to leave their homes. The storm caused torrential rains, leading to several incidents of flooding and landslides. On the other hand, the government has announced the closure of all schools and colleges due to floods.
Many died due to drowning
Typhoon Trami has caused heavy casualties in the northeastern provinces of the Philippines. Today the campaign is going on in full swing to save lakhs of people. The help of a boat has been taken to save many people trapped on the roof of the house. The Bicol region was most affected by floods and landslides. Many places here are submerged. According to reports, most of the people died due to floods and drowning at many places.
It is also difficult to deliver food and water to the affected people
1500 policemen are actively engaged in relief and rescue operations in the most submerged areas. “The number of people trapped is high, so it is impossible to rescue everyone at once,” said regional police chief Brigadier Andre Dizon. We need additional boats. It is difficult for affected people to get out immediately. We are thinking about how to deliver food and water to the affected people.
Officials said the weather conditions are still extremely bad and relief and rescue operations are being hampered.
20 typhoons in one year in Philippines
It is noteworthy that earlier last September, Typhoon Yagi had wreaked havoc in the Philippines. About 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every summer. In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan killed more than 7,300 people and destroyed many villages.
