Typhoon claims lives in Philippines

The sixth major storm to sweep through the Philippines in the last month has brought more devastation. At least eight people have died in the northern Philippines after high winds and torrential rain from Typhoon Man-yi triggered storm surges and landslides, Sky News writes.

A family of seven, including an eight-year-old girl, died on Monday when a landslide buried their home in the town of Ambaguio, in the northern Luzon province of Nueva Vizcaya.

More than a million people have been impacted by the typhoon and two previous storms. Officials added that nearly 700,000 people had fled their homes and moved to emergency shelters or other locations to escape the extreme conditions.
