More than 100 people died due to Typhoon Trami in the Philippines

On October 27, rescue workers in the Philippines were actively searching for dozens of missing victims of storm Trami (local name Kristine, and in Vietnam called storm No. 6), while the death toll had reached 100.

Typhoon Trami made landfall in the Philippines on October 24. It is one of the deadliest storms to hit the Southeast Asian country this year.

According to statistics from the Philippine national disaster agency, Typhoon Trami has forced about 560,000 people to evacuate and at least 36 people are still missing.

Hundreds of villages in the northern Philippines were submerged. More than 5.7 million people in 16 regions were affected, with infrastructure damage estimated at 825 million pesos (about $14 million), while agricultural losses totaled more than 1.43 billion pesos (24.5 million). Philippine authorities have declared a state of calamity in 84 cities and towns.

Bicol recorded 38 deaths, while many people in the region's Camarines Sur province were still trapped on rooftops. Meanwhile, the death toll in Batangas, south of Manila, rose to 55.

The Philippine Office of Civil Defense, part of the Department of National Defense, said the death toll could rise in the coming days as rescuers reach isolated areas.

About 20 major typhoons hit the Philippines or surrounding waters each year, causing damage to homes, infrastructure and killing many people.

A recent study found that storms in the Asia-Pacific region are increasingly forming closer to the coast, intensifying rapidly and lasting longer over land due to climate change.
