At least 90 dead as typhoon wreaks havoc in the Philippines | BBC News


At least 90 people have been killed while hundreds of thousands fled their homes as one of strongest typhoons this year ripped through the central Philippines, authorities say.

Typhoon Kalmaegi has flooded entire towns on the most populated central island of Cebu, where at least 49 of the fatalities were located.

Videos show people sheltering on rooftops, while cars and shipping containers have been swept through the streets.

The official death toll, which is likely to rise, includes six crew members of a military helicopter that crashed on Mindanao island, south of Cebu, after it was deployed to assist in relief efforts.
