Typhoon Man-yi has left at least seven people dead in a landslide, destroyed houses and displaced large numbers of villagers before blowing away from the northern Philippines, worsening the crisis wreaked by multiple back-to-back storms.

A super typhoon ripped through Philippines’ largest island on Sunday, knocking down houses and sending more than half a million people to emergency shelters, as rare back-to-back storms cause havoc across an exhausted nation.

Typhoon Man-yi is the latest typhoon to strike the Philippines, and the sixth storm to hit the country in less than a month. At least eight people died from the super typhoon, according to local disaster officials. The storm made landfall on Saturday, causing extensive storm surge, landslides, damage from strong wind gusts and heavy rainfall.

The fifth major storm in three weeks is approaching the Philippines, prompting more largescale evacuations and a United Nations request for emergency funds to help the government ease the plight of hard-hit villagers.

The sixth tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in a month intensified with maximum sustained winds reaching 121 mph.
