Typhoon Rai blew from the Pacific Ocean into the Siargao Islands, forcing nearly 100,000 people to flee their homes.

Al Jazeera’s Jamela Alindogan reports from Manila on the rescue efforts.

  1. "So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people."

  2. 🙏🏾I pray for the safety of the Filipino people who have been impacted severely by super typhoon Rai, especially by the severe flooding that is extremely dangerous! Let's keep the people of the Philippines lifted up in prayer until the flood waters have receded and they are out of harms way! 🙏🏾🕊️

  3. This is what I hate about “news”. Where did the typhoon make landfall? Where is this news footage from? How many casualties have there been and from which towns or cities?
    Again, “thank you” for a vague “report” from Manila when Odette made landfall near Surigao and is already in the Gulf of Panay, due South of Anini-y on its way to Palawan. Al Jazeera needs my fuut in its backside for this “quality report”. SMFH.

  4. Iran and holy Saudi should form a treaty to help muslim brothers all over the world. Philippines has a lot of poor suffering muslim brothers. immediate attention should be given to filipinas/balochis/uighurs/rohingyas/kashmiris..etc. fighting in OIC is not good for Islamic values. Arabic for national language of Bangladesh coming soon. Inshallah this happens soon
