Super typhoon Fung-Wong”: Evacuation of 1.1 million Philippians!
A new typhoon called “Fung-Wong” is currently hitting the Philippines and is already causing serious concern. Loud Radio Ennepe Ruhr The super typhoon has wind speeds of up to 185 km/h, with gusts that can even reach 230 km/h. The storm is located east of the island of Luzon, where the capital Manila is located. It could make landfall in Aurora province on the evening of Sunday or in the early hours of Monday (local time).
Sadly, Fung-Wong has already caused human casualties. At least two people have died in Catanduanes and Samar provinces, and it is reported that more than 917,000 people have been forced to flee their homes to seek safety. People from eastern, central and northern provinces have been urged to seek shelter as threats to life from storm surges of up to three meters are expected.
Consequences of the storm
Previous storms have already caused severe damage. Typhoon “Kalmaegi” claimed hundreds of lives last week and left over 224 people missing. The coincidence of two such dangerous weather events in such a short space of time creates major challenges for aid organizations and the government. The search for the missing people in connection with Kalmaegi had to be temporarily suspended due to the approaching danger of Fung-Wong.
Such natural disasters are common in the region every year. The Philippines has to expect around 20 typhoons every year. A devastating example from the past is typhoon “Haiyan,” which claimed over 6,300 lives in November 2013. Experts warn that climate change, which is making ocean waters warmer, is increasing the intensity and frequency of such hurricanes.
In the current preparations, more than 300 flights have already been canceled and power supply has been interrupted in some eastern provinces as a precautionary measure. As the Philippines is again under the influence of a typhoon this weekend, the population is urged to be particularly vigilant and follow the instructions of the authorities.
How the situation will develop in the coming days remains to be seen. The storm has the potential to affect up to 8.4 million people, including 5.7 million in coastal communities. The international community is monitoring the situation with concern and relief measures will certainly be needed as soon as possible to help those affected.
