The official death toll at https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/philippines-feared-death-toll-typhoon-rai-rises-31-2021-12-18, however, was still 31. The national disaster agency, when asked if they knew Bohol’s numbers, said its operations unit had not yet received an official report from its provincial unit.

In Bohol, communication lines and electricity supply were available two days after Raik struck the blow, Yap said. There are some well-known tourist destinations in the province, such as the Loboc River, which flooded.

“It’s very clear that the damage Bohol suffered is huge and widespread,” he said in a video posted to his Facebook (NASDAQ 🙂 account. “People have suffered a lot in the destroyed houses and in the loss of agriculture.”

He called for help, especially drinking water.

Raik, one of the deadliest tropical storms to hit the Philippine archipelago this year, has claimed nine landslides and reported devastation in Cebu, Leyte, Surigao del Norte provinces, including the popular surf destination of Siargao, and Dinagat. Islands.

In the southern Dinagat Islands, where strong winds damaged about 90 percent and 95 percent of homes, 10 people were killed, according to Jeffrey Crisostomo, the province’s chief information officer.

It was unclear whether these deaths were included in the official census of the disaster agency.

Rai has flown to the South China Sea, but more than 400,000 people have been left in temporary shelters, the disaster agency said in a Sunday morning update.

About 20 tropical storms hit the Philippines each year, usually causing floods and landslides.
