Typhoon Gaemi did not blow inland in the Philippines but has enhanced its seasonal monsoon rains
A passenger bus traverses along a flooded street in Manila on July 24, 2024, amid heavy rains brought by Typhoon Gaemi.Monsoon rains worsened by an offshore typhoon have left at least eight people dead and displaced more than 600,000 people due to flooding and landslides mostly in the southern and central Philippines.
In the densely populated region around the Philippine capital, government work and school classes were suspended Wednesday after non-stop rains flooded many areas overnight, trapping cars in rising flood water and stranding people in their homes. Residents who ventured out of their homes waded into knee- and waist-high flood waters with some using improvised dinghies and paddling their way alongside cars, trucks and SUVs.
While the typhoon and an earlier storm did not blow inland, the intense rains they enhanced in the past five days have set off at least a dozen landslides and floods that have caused eight deaths and displaced more than 600,000 people, including 35,000 who went to emergency shelters, the Philippines’ disaster risk mitigation agency said.
