New typhoon bears down on Philippines days after deadly storm
A new typhoon, Fung-wong, is set to hit the Philippines, just days after a deadly storm caused devastation and claimed over 200 lives. Forecasted to intensify into a super typhoon with winds of at least 185km/h, it is expected to make landfall on Luzon. Evacuations have begun, and schools and flights have been affected as the country prepares for heavy rains and potential storm surges. Residents in vulnerable areas are urged to move to higher ground before the typhoon arrives.
