Monday, November 10, 2025 -Super Typhoon Fung-wong made landfall in the northern Philippines overnight, leaving a trail of destruction and displacing more than one million residents.
Authorities report that at least two people have died, and hundreds of homes were damaged or destroyed as the storm unleashed torrential rains and wind gusts exceeding 150 km/h. Emergency services have been stretched thin, with search-and-rescue teams mobilized across the most affected provinces.
Flooding and landslides have cut off roads and disrupted communication networks, leaving entire communities isolated. Local officials are struggling to provide shelter, food, and medical aid to those evacuated from high-risk areas.
The Philippines’ disaster management agency has warned that the situation could worsen in the coming days, with heavy rainfall expected to continue and rivers in several regions already overflowing.
International aid groups are beginning to coordinate relief efforts, emphasizing the urgent need for clean water, food supplies, and temporary housing. The government is urging residents to remain in evacuation centers and avoid travel until conditions improve.
As the country braces for the storm’s lingering effects, authorities warn that recovery will be a long and complex process, particularly in rural areas where infrastructure has been heavily damaged.
