Philippines floods: victims tell of panic as wall of water hit cities
Death toll passes 400 and may rise as rescuers find bodies washed out to sea
Devastating flash floods have drowned hundreds of people in their beds in two southern Philippine cities. Twelve hours of heavy rain from a tropical storm swelled rivers and sent walls of water crashing into homes in the Mindanao region late on Friday night, wiping out whole families, many of whom had been at Christmas parties.
There was confusion over the number of casualties but the death toll was thought to be more than 400 with double that number missing. Many people are believed to have been swept out to sea by the torrents, which left the coastal area strewn with debris, toppled trees and overturned vehicles. Rescue boats were scouring the water for survivors.
Roads were cut off and there was no electricity, hampering relief efforts in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Iligan, which are intersected by rivers, as well as surrounding villages.
