Damage caused by Typhoon No. 22 is gradually becoming apparent in the central Philippines, and 375 deaths have been confirmed so far.
In the Philippines, Typhoon No. 22 hit the central part from the 16th to the 17th of this month, and according to the disaster countermeasures authorities, more than 3,800 houses were destroyed by strong winds and floods.
Local police announced on the night of the 20th of Japan time that 375 people had been confirmed dead and 56 people were missing.
However, it seems that the search has been difficult due to the power outages in about 200 local governments and the lack of communication mainly in remote islands.
In addition, nearly 100,000 people have been forced to evacuate, but on Bohol Island in the central part, where the damage is thought to be particularly severe, confusion is spreading such as water purification plants in various places stopping due to power outages and drinking water shortage. We are in full swing of support activities.
The Philippines is often severely damaged by typhoons, killing more than 6,000 people in central Leyte and other islands in 2013.
