KABUL (Pajhwok): A tropical storm in northern Philippines left more than 24 people dead and forced 150,000 others to evacuate.
The tropical storm on the northeast coast of Luzon, the country's most populous island, caused widespread flooding and landslides.
The Bicol peninsula was worst-hit, where floodwaters chased people and their pets to the second storey of their homes.
Typhoons are common in the Philippines at this time of the year, but Trami's rains were unusually heavy, the state weather bureau told BBC News.
People trapped on their roofs posted photos of their ordeal on social media . . .
