Devastating Floods in the Phillipines

Typhoon Ketsana smashed into the Philippines this weekend, submerging most of Metro Manila and nearby provinces under a torrent of water in just a few short minutes.

Thousands of terrified children and their families were forced to flee their homes with little more than the clothes on their backs. Many crowded into evacuation centres to escape the nearby destruction and mud.

At least 280 people have been killed and over 450,000 have been displaced—and the figures are expected to get worse.
