PHILIPPINES DISASTER

The death toll on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao is continuing to rise in the wake of tropical storm Washi, which resulted in flash flooding and overflowing rivers, killing an estimated 957 people.

The Philippine National Disaster Agency, which is responsible for the latest estimates, says there are 49 people still missing.

Attention is now being turned to the health of survivors, as crowded evacuation centres are reportedly without water or sanitation and are threatening to become breeding grounds for cholera, typhoid, respiratory infections and a host of other diseases.
