Philippines digs out from Typhoon Fung-Wong; death toll reaches 18
Rescuers in the Philippines are racing to clear debris after Typhoon Fung-wong left at least 18 dead and displaced 1.4 million people. The storm battered hundreds of villages, causing landslides and power outages before weakening into a severe tropical storm. Recovery efforts are hampered by destroyed roads and communication lines, with many areas still cut off from aid.
