🚨NEW: Heavy flooding swept through the Sta. Rita Dam section in Lubao, Pampanga, Philippines, destroying houses and carrying them away. Days of heavy monsoon rains enhanced by a low-pressure area caused a nearby dike to give way and the Sta. Rita Dam to fail.

More than 315,000 families, or roughly 1.01 million people, have been impacted. At least 19 houses were totally destroyed and 85 others partially damaged in the Philippines flooding.

PHILIPPINES BRACES FOR MORE AS DISASTER REACHES 8 MILLION PEOPLE

More than 8 million people have now been affected after relentless monsoon rains and recent tropical cyclones battered communities across the Philippines.

At least 32 deaths have been reported, thousands of homes damaged and tens of thousands of people remain inside evacuation centers.

117 local governments have now declared states of calamity.

Deadly landslides are being reported while other communities are still dealing with rising floodwaters and forced evacuations.

What started as another stretch of extreme weather has now become a disaster affecting millions.

And more dangerous weather is ahead.

The southwest monsoon is expected to bring more heavy to intense rainfall, with some locations potentially seeing another 4–8 inches. With the ground already saturated, additional rain could bring another dangerous round of impacts.

👇 Philippines — what are you seeing as this continues to unfold?
