The death toll from massive flooding continues to rise in the Philippines, where tropical storm Ketsana hit on Saturday. The storm regained typhoon strength and slammed into central Vietnam on Tuesday. Officials in the Philippines say 240 people have died in the floods, but that number is likely to rise. The storm brought the heaviest rain the islands have seen in decades. Now efforts are underway to help thousands of people who are homeless and hungry. VOA's Chris Simkins has more on the story.
