Philippines ready for another storm
Parts of the Philippines are bracing themselves for the arrival of another tropical storm, after more than 400 people were killed in the aftermath of fierce winds and heavy rain.
According to the BBC News website, Typhoon Nanmadol is expected to hit the island of Luzon, which includes the capital Manila, later today. Winds approaching 240 km/h are expected on the island, which will no doubt hamper rescue operations after a week of heavy rain and winds.
At least 150 people are still missing, as well as those known to have died, following flooding and mudslides.
An army spokesman is quoted as saying: “We need to bring food, medicine and blankets to affected communities today because another typhoon will hit these areas and it could be more difficult to reach thousands of families waiting for these relief goods.”
