Six Dead as Second Typhoon in a Week Batters the Philippines

At least six people have died after a super typhoon barrelled through the Philippines, mere days after an earlier storm left more than 200 people dead.

Super typhoon Fung-wong brought floods and landslides, which caused most of the deaths. It also cut power across entire provinces. It later weakened into a typhoon.

More than 1.4 million people were evacuated ahead of it making landfall in the Philippines. It is now heading for Taiwan, where more than 3,000 people have been evacuated.

Fung-wong was the 21st typhoon to hit the South East Asian nation this year, at a time where many residents are still struggling to recover from back-to-back natural disasters.
