Deadly Typhoon Moves Toward Vietnam After Causing no Fewer than 114 Lives in Philippines

Prior to striking in Vietnam, the storm system resulted in catastrophic damage in the Philippines - and at least 114 people dead.

The nation's leader Ferdinand Marcos Jr has declared a state of calamity - defined by circumstances including mass casualty, widespread structural damage, and disruption to means of livelihoods and the normal way of life for local inhabitants.

The typhoon, known locally as Tino, devastated the heavily populated island of Cebu, inundating whole settlements and sweeping cars through the streets.

Many thousands of people were forced to evacuate, while some are sheltering in emergency shelters.
