Typhoon Kalmaegi Kills Over 100 in Central Philippines

The Philippines has declared a national state of calamity after Typhoon Kalmaegi devastated central provinces, leaving at least 114 people dead and 127 missing. The majority of casualties were from drownings in flash floods, particularly in the hard-hit Cebu province, which was still recovering from a recent earthquake. The typhoon has affected nearly two million people and displaced over 560,000. The emergency declaration will expedite the release of funds for relief efforts as the country braces for another potential cyclone.
