Typhoon Gaemi worsened seasonal rains in the Philippines causing heavy flooding and landslides, while a Tanzania-flagged freighter has sunk off the southern coast of Taiwan in the storm. Searches are ongoing for the crew.
At least 25 people have been killed in landslides and massive flooding after a typhoon swept through Taiwan and worsened monsoon rains in the Philippines. A Tanzania-flagged freighter has sunk off the southern coast of Taiwan in the storm, with its nine crew members now missing. Searches are ongoing for the crew, who are all Myanmar nationals, the island's fire department said. A second ship, oil tanker MT Terra Nova, sank off the coast of Bataan province in the Philippines.
The typhoon also cut power to around half a million households in Taiwan, as offices and schools remained closed for a second day. It was the strongest typhoon to hit the island in eight years, packing gusts of up to 141 mph. Schools and government work were also suspended in the Philippines. The country's president Ferdinand Marcos Jr has ordered authorities to speed up efforts to deliver food and other aid to isolated rural villages.
