The Philippines: Typhoon Hagupit barrels through the country
Although the extent of damage is not fully clear yet, preliminary reports indicate localized flooding and wind damage in some areas, particularly in Eastern and Northern Samar. But overall, the impact is fortunately not as bad as initially feared. However, details of some areas remain sketchy due to access constraints, and Typhoon Hagupit is still moving across the country - though it has considerably weakened.
