Typhoon Gaemi: Storm forces Philippines to halt work and school
In the Philippines, Typhoon Gaemi brought Manila to a standstill on Wednesday as heavy rain triggered severe flooding and landslides.
Regional authorities have cancelled most work in government offices and shut schools.
Gaemi merged with another tropical storm last week in the southern Philippines, leaving seven people dead.
The storm is now heading towards Taiwan, where 21 cities and counties have already announced school and office closures. Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo has the latest from Manila, the Philippines.
