A Spanish tourist joined typhoon flood relief efforts in the Philippines.

The European and his friends joined rescue and aid operations for locals affected after Typhoon Kalmaegi battered Port Barton Beach in San Vicente, Palawan.

Footage shows the man clad in a raincoat standing in a moving black pickup truck as it navigates a narrow road on November 5.

He said in the video: 'We are helping everyone here because there's no access to Port Barton. All the roads and the bridge are blocked, and the way to San Vicente is blocked too. We're trying to help everyone here.'

Kalmaegi, locally known as Tino, has killed at least 188 people and displaced hundreds of thousands across the country. Another 135 people remain missing.

State weather bureau PAGASA said the storm dumped more than a month's worth of rain in just 24 hours in Southern Leyte and Cebu.

The storm later made landfall in central Vietnam late on Thursday, uprooting trees, damaging homes, and causing widespread power outages before weakening as it moved inland.

No official death toll has been released, but state-run media reported one fatality in Dak Lak province after a house collapsed.

Climate experts said typhoons are becoming stronger due to human-induced climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures allow storms to intensify rapidly, while a hotter atmosphere holds more moisture, leading to heavier rainfall.
