Taiwan has evacuated more than 3,000 residents and issued a warning as Typhoon Fung-wong approached from the South China Sea, after the storm killed at least 18 people and displaced over a million in the Philippines.
The storm, which weakened after making landfall in northern Luzon as a super typhoon on Sunday, is expected to reach Taiwan’s southwest coast near Kaohsiung on Wednesday before moving eastward across the island, according to Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration.
