The Philippines is still feeling the effects of the supertyphoon Ragasa, which left thousands of people homeless. Now they have to seek shelter from the powerful tropical storm Bualoi, which has caused at least three deaths in connection with roads and trees being uprooted.
About 400,000 people have been evacuated, said civil defense chief Bernardo Alejandro at a press briefing on Friday.
On average, 20 severe weather conditions per year affect the Philippines, which contributes to the fact that millions of people in disaster-stricken areas remain in constant poverty.
This time, the storms come at the same time as the general anger grows over a scandal with fake flood projects that are believed to have cost taxpayers tens of billions of kronor.
Researchers warn that the storms will become increasingly powerful due to the climate changes triggered by human combustion of fossil fuels.
