At least 75 people were killed and 300,000 people fled from their homes in the strongest typhoon Rai in the Philippines at a speed of 195 km / h, Channel News Asia reports, citing official figures.
Earlier, the governor of the province of Bohol, Arthur Yap, wrote on Facebook that the mayors reported 49 dead. According to him, ten people were missing on the island, another 13 were injured. Many provinces have no connection, so only 21 out of 48 mayors reported the consequences, Yap said.
Military, police, coast guard and firefighters are being dispatched to the hardest hit areas. A ship of the Philippine Navy has left for Bohol with humanitarian aid, the governor said.
The typhoon cut power lines, disrupting the water supply, which is powered by electric pumps, Inquierer wrote.
