Powerful Typhoon Heads for Vietnam Following Claiming at Least 114 Fatalities in Philippines

Before striking in Vietnam, the storm system left a trail of devastation in the Philippines - including a minimum of 114 fatalities.

Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has proclaimed a state of calamity - which is triggered by significant loss of life, extensive property destruction, and interruption of income sources and the normal way of life for local inhabitants.

The typhoon, called in the region Tino, devastated the heavily populated island of Cebu, submerging entire towns and carrying vehicles down roads.

Many thousands of people had to be relocated, others are resting in temporary accommodations.
