Taifun Gaemi: Manila in Water Chaos - Number of dead is increasing

Delivering effects of the TAIFUS "Gaemi" on the Philippines

The TAIFUN "GAEMI" has caused devastating damage in the Southeast Asian area and leads to an alarming humanitarian crisis. According to the latest reports and communications of over 30 police stations, at least 33 people were killed by the devastating landslides and floods. The situation in the capital Manila is particularly dramatic, where almost a dozen deaths were recorded.

Extensive damaged region

It is estimated that more than 1.3 million people are affected by the devastating effects of the tropical storm. The Filipino Weather Service Pagasa has signaled that "Gaemi" has strengthened the monsoon that has been going on since July 11, which brought heavy rainfall. Around 210,000 people have become homeless and accommodated in various evacuation centers.

Networking of the natural disasters

In the Philippines it is not uncommon for the country to be exposed to an average of 20 types of typhoons every year. The recurring violence underlines the need for strong disaster protection and emergency management strategies. Historically speaking, the TAIFUN "Haiyan" remains the most devastating storm that cost over 6,300 people in November 2013. This latest section in the history of the typhoon shows how vulnerable the region remains in terms of extreme climatic events.

Water level in Manila: A fleeting danger

In the past few days, the water in Manila has stood on the streets, which made many areas inaccessible. According to reports, the water masses have largely declined, but the entire extent of the destruction is now becoming clear. Eyewitnesses report great damage caused by the massive rains and the subsequent floods.

Follow for neighboring countries and regional security

The typhoon not only met the Philippines, but also reached Taiwan and parts of China, where other fatalities were reported. In China, more than 150,000 people have already been brought to safety. The developments underline the cross -border effects of such natural events and the need for regional cooperation in disaster protection.

The tragedy that leaves "Gaemi" clearly shows the effects of climate change and the nature of the regions concerned. The international community and local government faces the challenging task of addressing both the immediate humane needs of those affected and taking long -term measures in order to increase the resilience of the municipalities towards future natural disasters.
