Dozens of people have been killed after torrential rains set off flash floods and landslides in the Philippines.
Thousands had to flee their homes before Tropical Storm Nalgae made landfall with heavy downpours and 80mph gusts.
At least 42 people were swept away by rampaging floodwaters and drowned or were hit by debris-filled mudslides in three towns in the hard-hit southern Maguindanao province overnight Thursday.
Rescuers dug up 11 bodies, mostly of children, in the tribal village of Kusiong in Maguindanao’s Datu Odin Sinsuat town, according to Naguib Sinarimbo.
Mr Sinarimbo, the interior minister for a five-province Muslim autonomous region run by former separatist guerrillas, told reporters: ‘That community will be our ground zero today.’
