At least 73 people killed in back-to-back tropical storms in Philippines
At least 73 people were killed in back-to-back tropical storms in the Philippines, including eastern provinces devastated by Typhoon Haiyan last year, the government said Sunday.
Tropical storm Kajiki, which made landfall on Friday
night, battered the eastern and central regions, a week after a tropical
depression locally called Agaton caused landslides and floods in the
southern and eastern provinces.
Two people drowned and
one was electrocuted in the provinces of Cebu and Southern Leyte due to
Kajiki, which blew out of the Philippines on Sunday, the national
disaster relief agency said.
Seventy people were killed
due to floods and landslides caused by Agaton, mostly in southern
provinces, while nine were still missing, the agency added.
Dozens
of domestic flights and sea travel were suspended due to Kajiki,
stranding more than 5,000 passengers. Nearly 18,000 were displaced by
the two cyclones that affected 25 provinces, the agency said.
Among
the affected provinces were Leyte and Samar provinces, which were badly
hit by Typhoon Haiyan in November. More than 6,200 people were killed
and more than 4 million displaced in the typhoon.
