Storyline: The death toll from the devastating Typhoon Kalmaegi that has battered the Philippines since Sunday has climbed to 66, with 26 more missing, the country's Office of Civil Defense (OCD) said Wednesday. The deadly storm has affected more than 706,000 people across the Philippines, inflicting widespread damage and forcing thousands of residents to take refuge. The OCD's Deputy Administrator Rafaelito Alejandro told the media that 49 of the deaths have occurred in the worst-hit Cebu province, where several others have been injured. Footage posted on social media showed numerous cars piled on top of each other in Cebu province, with residents on roofs waiting to be rescued amid ferocious winds. As of early Wednesday morning, the state weather bureau said the center of Kalmaegi was spotted in El Nido on Palawan island, and was moving west-northwestward at 25 km per hour, with maximum sustained winds of 120 km per hour and gusts of up to 165 km per hour. Located along the Pacific typhoon belt, the Philippines experiences an average of 20 typhoons each year, with Kalmaegi already being the 20th to hit the country this year.
