Tropical Storm Ketsana has pounded the Philippines, dumping the equivalent of one month of rain in just six hours, causing massive flooding in the capital Manila and killing at least five people while thousands have been forced to evacuate.

 

Power in Manila has been cut off while hundreds of people have been trapped on the rooftops of their home as streets have turned into raging rivers.

 

In some areas of the Philippines there have been reports of entire towns under water. The government has declared the current situation a calamity and has accessed emergency funds to provide for relief.
