Streets turn into rivers as Typhoon Gaemi sweeps over Philippines

Relentless rain drenched the northern Philippines, triggering flooding in the capital Manila and landslides in mountainous regions as Typhoon Gaemi intensified the seasonal monsoon.
In the densely populated capital, rescuers were deployed across the city on Wednesday to help evacuate people from low-lying homes after downpours turned streets into rivers.
Government offices were shut and classes suspended, while more than 70 domestic and international flights were cancelled because of the weather.
