The death toll from the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines this year has risen to more than 400, with more than 50 others still missing and several central provinces struggling with downed communications and power.

Rai blew out into the South China Sea on Friday with sustained winds of 195 kilometers per hour and gusts of up to 270 kph.

The national police said that at least 375 people were killed and 56 were missing. The toll may go up because several towns and villages remained out of reach due to downed communications and power outages.

Many were killed by falling trees and collapsing walls. A man was found hanging from a tree branch and a woman was blown away, police said.

The governor of Dinagat Islands, one of the southeastern provinces first hit by the typhoon, said that Rai was worse than the one that devastated the central Philippines.

Bag-ao said it was like being in a washing machine, with a monster smashing itself everywhere, grabbing trees and tin roofs and tossing them everywhere. The wind was blowing from the north to the south to the west for six hours. The tin roof sheets were thrown back.

Bag-ao said that at least 14 villagers died and more than 100 others were injured by flying roofs, debris and glass shards, and were treated in makeshift surgery rooms in damaged hospitals in Dinagat. If not for the residents being evacuated from high-risk villages, many more would have died.

Many residents in Dinagat and other typhoon-hit provinces needed construction materials and food. Bag-ao and other provincial officials traveled to nearby regions that had cellphone signals to seek aid and coordinate recovery efforts with the national government.
More than one million people were affected by the typhoon in central island provinces. In Loboc town in hard-hit Bohol province, residents were trapped on roofs and in trees as the flooding worsened.

The coast guard ships ferried 29 American, British, Canadian, Swiss, Russian, Chinese and other tourists who were stranded on Siargao Island, a popular surfing destination that was devastated by the typhoon.

Emergency crews were working to restore electricity in more than 200 cities and towns. Only 21 areas had power restored. More than 130 cities and towns had their cell phone connections cut by the typhoon, but at least 106 had been restored by Monday. The civil aviation agency said that two local airports remained closed, but most others have reopened.

Bag-ao and other officials were concerned that their provinces may run out of fuel because of the use of temporary power generators, including those used for refrigerated warehouses with large amounts of coronavirus vaccine stocks. The vaccine campaign was put off last week due to the typhoon.

Tropical storms and typhoons batter the Philippines every year, which lies between the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. It is one of the world's most disaster-prone countries because it is located along the Pacific "Ring of Fire" region.

The governor of the central Philippine province of Bohol said on Sunday that at least 72 people had died in the wake of typhoon Rai. The strongest tropical storm to hit the Philippines this year was hit on Thursday and Friday. More than 400,000 people were displaced and homes were damaged.

More than 300 people have been killed by a powerful typhoon in the Philippines that destroyed homes, flooded towns, severed power and communications lines and displaced hundreds of thousands. The country was hit by the strongest of 15 storms to hit the archipelago this year, and military airplanes and naval vessels were dispatched on Monday to help. The Defense Secretary said that the damage was huge.
