The death toll from severe tropical storm Nalgae, which unleashed floods and set off landslides in several parts of the Philippines, has climbed to 48, the country's disaster agency said on Sunday, with 22 others recorded missing.
Some 40 people were reported injured, while nearly 170,000 were sheltering in evacuation centers, government data showed, as the storm exited land areas after barreling across the country over the weekend, including the capital, Manila.
Most of the casualties were recorded in the southern autonomous region of Bangsamoro, where 40 died due to landslides, with 10 still missing.
Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos on Saturday ordered urgent aid distribution in hard-hit areas.
