Typhoon Kalmaegi has killed at least 26 people while flooding swathes of the central Philippines, the country’s civil defence office said Tuesday.
“Based on information that we have, most of them died from drowning,” civil defence deputy administrator Rafaelito Alejandro told AFP by phone, adding that 21 of the deaths were in Cebu province, where multiple towns have been inundated.
