Tropical Storm Trami Devastates Philippines, Death Toll Rises
Tropical Storm Trami has devastated the Philippines, leaving at least 82 people dead and 34 missing due to massive flooding and landslides, with the toll expected to rise as more reports arrive from isolated areas. The storm has displaced tens of thousands, particularly in Batangas and the Bicol region, where the intense rainfall exceeded normal volumes by dumping one to two months' worth in just 24 hours. Rescue operations continue as many remain trapped on roofs, with emergency personnel mobilizing boats and backhoes to aid the affected. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has canceled appointments to oversee disaster response efforts, noting that overwhelmed flood controls contributed to the widespread damage. The storm, which was initially moving toward Vietnam, may make a U-turn due to high-pressure winds. The government has shut down schools and offices in Luzon, while international aid is on standby for further disaster response.
