By Jason Gutierrez, Agence France-Presse Slum dwellers in the Philippine capital rummaged through their flattened homes Thursday as villagers on remote farms battled floods, two days after a monster typhoon killed at least 35 people. Authorities warned the death toll from Typhoon Nesat (local name: Pedring) would continue to climb, with 45 people still missing and more accidents likely as tens of thousands of people struggled with the storm’s aftermath. |
