Typhoon Kalmaegi has caused widespread devastation in the Philippines. Strong winds and continuous rain have damaged many homes and disrupted lives. The storm, which reached 130 kilometers per hour, has claimed 241 lives so far. It is considered one of the deadliest natural disasters to hit the Philippines this year. Flooding in the affected areas has made life difficult for civilians and increased the challenges of government relief efforts.
Disaster management agencies have immediately launched rescue and relief operations, and thousands of people have been evacuated. The storm is now approaching Vietnam, where the threat of heavy rain and strong winds has increased, prompting authorities to be on high alert.
Storm Approaches Vietnam
According to the disaster agency, Typhoon Kalmaegi has strengthened again as it moves from the central Philippines toward Vietnam. A warning has been issued for heavy rain and damaging winds in Vietnam’s Gia Lai Province. Flooding in low-lying areas is expected, disrupting agricultural activities.
Emergency Declaration
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared a state of emergency in the country. This has proven to be the deadliest natural disaster of the year. Approximately 350,000 people have been evacuated due to flooding and debris.
Debris Removal Challenge
According to Senior Civil Defense Officer Raffy Alejandro, debris removal is the primary challenge. This will help locate missing people and ensure smooth rescue operations.
New Typhoon Active
After Kalmaegi exited the Philippines, a new storm is emerging east of Mindanao. It could potentially make impacts next week. This is the 20th typhoon to hit the Philippines this year, and a 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck northern Cebu.
Potential Impact in Vietnam
Kalmaegi could impact several central provinces in Vietnam as it passes through the South China Sea. Traffic at eight airports is expected to be disrupted. Authorities are deploying thousands of troops for relief and rescue operations.
