Rescue teams deliver supplies today (October 29) to families stranded after Typhoon Molave hit central Vietnam.

Footage shows food being handed out to residents Quang Binh province, where families live in remote hillsides and need supplies after being left isolated by the typhoon.

The death toll from the deadly typhoon has risen to 45 people with dozens more missing feared dead across Vietnam and the Philippines.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated across the two countries with the extreme weather leaving a trail of damaged homes, fallen trees, landslides and severe flooding.

Typhoon Molave, also known as Quinta, made landfall in the Philippines earlier this week before smashing into central Vietnam and moving into Laos and Thailand.

It had winds of up to 145 kilometres per hour (85 miles per hour) but has now weakened into a tropical depression.

The Vietnam Red Cross Society said that more than 700 communities were without power, while infrastructure, crops and safe drinking water supplies had been damaged or destroyed,

President Nguyen Thi Xuan Thu said: ''We are heartbroken by more tragic loss of life as this typhoon has brought further misery and hardships to hundreds of thousands of people in central Vietnam.''

The annual rainy season lasts from June to November in Southeast Asia and brings heavy downpours and flooding. Cambodia has also been severely hit this year along with Indonesia and Malaysia.
