The Philippine Red Cross says the death toll from a storm that ravaged a wide swath of the south has risen to 652 with 808 others still missing.
Red Cross Secretary-General Gwendolyn Pang said Sunday that flash floods set off by Tropical Storm Sendong (international name Washi) killed 346 people in Cagayan de Oro city and 206 in nearby Iligan city. Deaths were also reported in five other southern and central provinces.
Pang said more people have reported missing relatives, including 447 in Iligan and 347 in Cagayan de Oro.
