Dozens Killed as Typhoon Hagupit Makes Landfall in Philippines 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
At least 90 people have been killed and more than one million people
evacuated since Typhoon Hagupit made landfall in the Philippines over
the weekend. Thousands of homes have been destroyed. The typhoon has
followed almost the same path taken by last year's Typhoon Haiyan which
left more than 7,000 dead or missing. It is the third year in a row the
Philippines has been battered by a major storm during annual U.N.
climate talks.
