More than 30 people were killed in the strongest typhoon to hit the
Philippines this year, official figures showed Saturday, with a charity
reporting "alarming" destruction on islands that bore the brunt of the storm.




Hundreds of thousands fled their homes and beachfront resorts as Typhoon Rai
ravaged the southern and central regions of the archipelago, knocking out
communications and electricity in many areas, ripping off roofs and toppling
concrete power poles.

Typhoon Rai blew away Friday night into the South China Sea after rampaging
through southern and central island provinces, where more than 300,000 people
in its path were evacuated to safety in advance in a pre-emptive move
officials say may have saved a lot of lives.

Aerial photos shared by the military showed widespread damage in the town of
General Luna, where many surfers and holidaymakers had flocked ahead of
Christmas, with buildings stripped of roofs and debris littering the ground.
