Floods reaching as high as two metres swamped a wide area in the northern Philippines, including Manila, after days of heavy rains, killing 14 people. More than one million people were affected, including 281,126 people forced to stay in emergency shelters or with family and friends, according to the National Risk Reduction and Management Council. The monsoon rains in the Philippines were being enhanced by tropical storm Trami, which was moving towards Taiwan with maximum sustained winds of 105 kilometres per hour (kph) and gusts of up to 135 kph.
