Sturm tragedy in the Philippines: Is the next Supertaifun threatening?

A storm pulls over the Philippines that does not let the nation come to rest! After the devastating destruction by Tropensturm's "Trami", which demanded at least 125 lives last week, Taifun is now making "Kong-Rey"-and experts warn: He could become a superaifun!

The devastating consequences of "Trami" are still omnipresent. Heavy rain and violent winds devastated numerous provinces, especially the main island of Luzon, where many people were drowned in the floods or hit by landslides. Disaster protection reports that 28 people continue to be missing and that around 935,000 people were forced to leave their houses. Now the next force of nature is just around the corner, and it remains uncertain how violently "Kong-Rey" will strike if it may be directly hitting land.

on the storm season is no released!

"Kong-Rey", also known as "Leon" in the region, is now classified as a typhoon and has the potential to reach the dreaded supertaifun category during his approach to the northern province of Batanes. The Filipino Weather Office Pagasa warns that the areas already damaged by “Trami” could be affected again. As a precaution, school lessons were discontinued in some endangered provinces, and the residents of the most threatened regions have already been brought to safety.

The humanitarian situation is becoming increasingly critical. "The municipalities are faced with devastating damage and many children and families urgently need help," said Faisah Ali from the aid organization Save the Children Philippines. The destruction of the health infrastructure and the overcrowding of the evacuation centers tighten the situation, while people continue to fight with the consequences of the previous typhoon. The storm season in the Philippines only ends in November - until then the population remains on the highest alert!
