@khaleejtimesofficial: At least 33 people have died, 19 were injured and three remain missing, while around 8 million people have been affected by the flooding. Up to 200mm of rain fell in 24 hours, worsening floods that had already hit the region the previous week. Homes, roads, bridges, farms and infrastructure have been damaged, with several provinces declaring states of calamity and thousands forced to evacuate. Authorities are also facing growing criticism over flood-control projects, with residents and community groups blaming inadequate infrastructure and environmental damage for worsening the crisis. #Khaleejtimes #Philippines #PhilippinesFloods #Floods #Monsoon #CentralLuzon #Flooding #Asia
