Philippines - Hundreds still missing after Typhoon Washi and its aftermath.

http://www.euronews.net/ The number of confirmed victims of severe flooding in the southern Philippines has risen sharply. The authorities have announced 200 more deaths caused by Typhoon Washi and its aftermath.

Several hundred people are still missing and the final toll is likely to be much higher than the current figure of almost 1,500.

Many bodies are still thought to be buried in the mud and debris left behind after torrents of water cascaded through coastal and riverside areas on Mindanao island in mid-December.
