The super-typhoon Fung-wong has blown through the Philippines, leaving at least eight dead, 1.4 million people displaced and widespread damage in its wake.
More than 1.4 million people were evacuated across the country as the storm triggered flash flooding, storm surges, landslides and gale-force winds, Philippine authorities said on Monday. Deadly mudslides had killed least six people across the country, including three children, with others still missing.
The biggest typhoon to threaten the Philippines in years, Fung-wong was forecast to cover two-thirds of the archipelago with its 1,118-mile-wide (1,800km) band of rain and wind.
