Weeks of Luzon Flooding and Landslides Kill Over 30 in the Philippines Recent flooding and landslides on Luzon, triggered by monsoon rains intensified by four tropical cyclones in August, have claimed over 30 lives and affected more than 8 million people across 10 regions.
The sheer scale of this disaster is a stark reminder of the country's vulnerability to natural calamities.
The Philippines' location makes it prone to typhoons and floods due to its geography, which comprises mountains, rivers, and coastlines that can contribute to devastating consequences when weather conditions are extreme.
