Typhoon Man-yi wreaked havoc in the northern Philippines, causing widespread destruction and claiming at least seven lives in a tragic landslide. The typhoon, one of the strongest to hit the region in recent weeks, brought sustained winds of up to 195 kilometers per hour, battering the eastern island province of Catanduanes.
The aftermath of Typhoon Man-yi has exacerbated the crisis caused by a series of back-to-back storms that have struck the area. The U.S. Defense Secretary visited Manila and pledged an additional $1 million in humanitarian aid for the typhoon victims, offering support from U.S. troops to assist in relief efforts.
