MINILA: A third of Manila,
the capital of the Philippines, is under water. The head of the
government disaster relief agency referred to the crisis as
“Waterworld,” as thousands remain trapped on roofs. Last week’s
storms and subsequent flooding have left 50 dead and forced 250,000
to evacuate. Manila streets were completely submerged, closing
schools and offices. Rescue workers used rafts to access slum
areas. Tuesday, nine were killed in a Quezon City slum after a
landslide. Manila, which has an overpopulated 10 million residents,
is located in low-lying land between a lake and the
ocean.
