On July 26, 2024, Typhoon Carina swept across Luzon, bringing intense winds and heavy rains that have left a mark on the region.
Typhoon Carina arrived with winds reaching up to 150 mph and powerful winds. The storm’s strength has made it one of the most significant storms to hit the Philippines this year. With heavy rains and high waves, it caused serious flooding and coastal damage.
Impact on Luzon
Many roads and buildings have been affected. Flooding and landslides have blocked several roads, and power outages have left many areas without electricity. Efforts are underway to clear the roads and restore power.
The storm has damaged or destroyed numerous homes. Roofs have been torn off, and walls have fallen.Coastal communities have been particularly hard hit, with high waves flooding residential areas.
Farms have suffered significant damage. Crops have been destroyed or flattened by the storm’s heavy rains and winds. This could lead to food shortages, and recovery will take time.
Many people have been forced to leave their homes. Emergency shelters are being set up to provide temporary housing, and aid organizations are working to offer support with food, water, and medical care.
The unsung heroes
Teams are actively searching for those who need help, rescuing people who are trapped and providing support to those affected. Organizations are delivering essential supplies, including food, water, and medical aid, to the areas that need them most.
