Officials fear the death toll from the deadly storm will rise even further from the current total of 1,020. Because while rescue crews continue searching, the chances of finding people alive dim with each passing day.
With 844 still missing and 1.2 million families displaced, Bopha is the strongest and deadliest storm to hit the Philippines this year, according to the country’s emergency management agency.
Among the missing are hundreds of fishermen who went to sea before the storm hit. Officials hope that they could yet be found sheltering on small islands out at sea. – CNN
