#AceWeatherDesk – The Philippines’ national disaster agency has reported at least eight deaths — mostly due to floods triggered by heavy rains in the southern provinces — as Christmas celebrations were disrupted for thousands of residents forced to evacuate.
Images on social media showed rescue workers helping residents out of chest-deep flood waters caused by two days of moderate to heavy rainfall in the central and southern Philippines
In its latest bulletin, the national disaster agency reported eight deaths, five of whom died from drowning, while 19 others remain missing.
Of the eight deaths, six were in the mountainous and coastal Misamis Occidental province.
Nearly 46,000 people were sheltering in evacuation centres, data from the Social Welfare Ministry showed on Monday.
“We need food. Our house and animals were carried away by floods,” Misamis Occidental resident Estela Talaruc told DZRH radio station.
“Nothing was left, not even clothes.”
The Philippines — an archipelago of more than 7,600 islands — sees an average of 20 tropical storms annually.
Adverse weather conditions such as monsoon rains — that cause deadly landslides and floods, and damage to crops — are not uncommon in the south-east Asian nation.
