The death toll from landslides and floods after Tropical Storm Megi in the Philippines rose to 58 yesterday. Rescue crews were still seeking to find survivors in flooded villages, digging through mud and wading through chest-high water. However, officials say, the death toll from Sunday’s natural disaster is only expected to rise. Villages around Baybay city in the central Leyte province are worse hit. Authorities say, more than 1,00,000 people in southern and eastern Philippines islands have been affected by the storm.
