Nalgae has sown death in the Philippines.

The toll of the storm that has hit the archipelago in recent days has climbed further, from 48 to 98 victims, the national agency for natural disaster management announced on Monday.

She moved away on Sunday afternoon in the South China Sea.

Most of the victims died in landslides and floods on Friday in the country's southern island Mindanao after heavy rains.

The storm also hit the main island of Luzon overnight from Saturday to Sunday, sweeping away everything in its path and causing power outages.

Manila and nearby towns suffered flooding.

An average of 20 typhoons and storms hit the Philippines each year, killing people and livestock in their path, and ravaging farms, homes, roads and bridges, although the south is rarely hit.

As the planet is affected by global warming, storms and typhoons are becoming more powerful, scientists warn.
