Evacuations, call for aid as Typhoon Usagi approaches Philippines

Manila (AFP) Nov 13, 2024

The Philippines ordered evacuations ahead of Typhoon Usagi on Wednesday, as the UN disaster office sought $32.9 million in aid for the country after storms that killed more than 150 people. The national weather service said Usagi, the archipelago's fifth major storm in three weeks, was likely to make landfall Thursday in Cagayan province on the northeast tip of main island Luzon. Provin
