Philippines Super Typhoon Rai death toll rises to 375

The typhoon struck the southeastern islands of the Philippines with winds of about 120mph. Thousands of people tried to flee to safety.

The death toll in the Philippines from Super typhoon Rai is more than 375. This could increase because there is a breakage in communication to several areas with consequent delay in receiving information. Hence, it is difficult to assess the extent of loss and damages.

Super Typhoon Rai struck with winds of about 120mph, and hundreds of people were injured or missing. Rescue teams are on the scene, and there are fears of widespread landslides and flooding. These might add to the death toll. The Philippines Red Cross has revealed the non-availability of essentials like power, communications, and water to the media.

Obviously, travel would be a difficult proposition. In such situations, renewable energy can be a boon because today’s world relies heavily on gadgets powered by electricity. An official of the Red Cross compared the scenes to those of areas bombed during World War Two.
