Civil Disturbia | Typhoon Yagi floods Philippines capital Manila @CivilDistribution | Uploaded August 2018 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Torrential rains from Typhoon Yagi brought the Philippine capital to a standstill, submerging some areas in waist-deep floodwaters and making streets impassable to vehicles while thousands of people across coastal and mountainous northern regions fled to emergency shelters.
Marina Mayor Marcy Teodoro told CNN Philippines that 5,000 people or 800 families had to leave their homes located near the Markina River in eastern Metro Manila.
He added that as a result, the city now has 13 designated evacuation centres for residents.
Mr Teodoro said: “We implemented forced evacuation so they can leave while they can.”
He added that rescue operations are ongoing, as floods of up to four feet high trapped people in certain areas.
