Typhoon "Rai" wreaked havoc in the Philippines, killing at least 208 people. According to the report, 52 people are still missing and 239 are seriously injured. Damage from Hurricane Rai severely disrupted power and communications, leaving rescue teams stranded.

Category 5 hurricane hit the southern coast of the Philippines. Extreme levels of flood hazard have been reported in at least two locations.
The administration confirmed that more than 300,000 people were evacuated. Many buildings were destroyed in the worst affected areas, from where residents can be seen pulling mud and debris from their destroyed houses.

According to the state news agency PNA, around 24.2 million people have been lost so far.

However, the intensity of the 'Rai' has decreased and now the winds are blowing at a speed of 165 km / h, which is equivalent to a category 2 storm.

It should be noted that this is the 15th typhoon of the year in the Philippines, which is considered the most severe typhoon to date.
