Two people have been killed and more than one million displaced after a typhoon struck the Philippines. The storm caused flooding, landslides, and strong winds. According to the country’s disaster response agency, damage assessments are still underway, and around 6,000 temporary shelters have been opened for displaced residents. Officials said many people were rescued from areas cut off by floodwaters. Following the widespread devastation, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared a state of emergency in several regions. The typhoon weakened as it approached the country’s main island, which includes the capital.
